The effect of kinesio taping with exercise compared with exercise alone on pain, range of motion, and disability of the shoulder in postmastectomy females: a randomized control trial.

ABSTRACT: [Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of kinesio tape on pain, range of motion, and disability of the shoulder. [Subjects and Methods] Seventy-four female patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups, an experimental group that received kinesio tape for the shoulder joint in addition to a conventional physiotherapy program and a control group that received the physiotherapy program only. Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale, shoulder range of motion, and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. [Results] The experimental group showed significant differences in all outcome measures both within and between groups. The control group only showed a significant within group difference in shoulder flexion. [Conclusion] Clinicians should be able to recognize the benefits achieved through the use of adjunct treatment options such as kinesio tape in comparison with benefits that can be obtained through the use of individual modalities in physical therapy. Kinesio tape can be suggested and recommended for postmastectomy patients, especially for shoulder pain, range of motion, and disability.

Project description:BackgroundPeripheral facial paralysis is a rapid unilateral facial paralysis or paralysis of unknown etiology. Nearly 30% of patients leave sequela that have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life, both physically and psychologically. As its safety, convenience and effectiveness, Kinesio taping has been gradually used in the rehabilitation of peripheral facial paralysis. However, whether Kinesio taping is effective for peripheral facial paralysis is still unknown. The purpose of this systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis will summarize the current evidence of Kinesio taping used as an intervention for peripheral facial paralysis.Methods and analysisWe will search the following electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio taping in treating peripheral facial paralysis: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Date, SinoMed, Technology Periodical Database (VIP), PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library. Each database will be searched from inception to April 2020. Studies that present clear descriptions of Kinesio taping in treating peripheral facial paralysis administration are published in peer-reviewed journals in any languages and are published in full will be taken into consideration. The entire process will include study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment and meta-analyses. Assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis will be conducted using Review Manager 5.3 software.ResultsThe current evidence on the Kinesio taping for managing peripheral facial paralysis will be illustrated using subjective reports and objective measures of performance. The primary outcome is the effective rate. Secondary outcomes include House-Brackmann scale, Portmann score, facial nerve conduction velocity, Facial Disability Index, Facial Disability Index include Facial Function score and social Function score.ConclusionThis protocol will present evidence on the efficacy of Kinesio taping in relieving peripheral facial paralysis.Ethics and disseminationSince all the data used in this SR and meta-analysis have been published, ethical approval is not required for this review. The results of this SR will be published in a peer-reviewed journal or presented at conferences. INPLASY ID:: (INPLASY2020100008).
