About this study
Official title: The Effect of Kinesio Taping Applied to Operating Room Nurses on Low Back Pain, Fatigue, and Sleep Quality: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to determine the effects of kinesiology taping applied to operating room nurses on lower back pain, fatigue, and sleep quality. The research will be conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The universe of the study will consist of 100 operating room nurses working in a university hospital. The sample size has been calculated as a total of 84 nurses (Intervention group: 42; Control group: 42) based on power analysis calculations. The study will commence after obtaining the necessary permissions. Data collection will involve the use of the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue, and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. Participants who consent to the study will be administered the Descriptive Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue, and Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire before the application of kinesiology tape. Subsequently, a physiotherapist from the research team will apply kinesiology tape to the paravertebral muscles using the muscle technique. As the literature suggests that the most suitable number of days for kinesiology tape application is four, participants will be instructed not to remove the tapes for four days. Additionally, participants will be informed that they can continue their daily activities and shower with the kinesiology tape on. The Visual Analog Scale will be applied to the participants at the end of the workday on the day of the kinesiology tape application and at the end of the workday for four days. At the end of the fourth day, all data collection tools will be applied. Seven days after the application, the scales will be filled out again by the nurses to determine if the effects of the kinesiology tape persist. Participants in the control group who agree to participate in the study will have data collected at the same time intervals as the intervention group participants using the same data collection tools. The Visual Analogue Scale will be administered to participants at the end of the day the data collection tools are filled out and at the end of the workday for four consecutive days. At the end of the fourth day, all data collection tools will be applied again. Seven days after the application, all scales will be refilled by the nurses..

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kinesiotape ApplicationOther
Before the appropriate taping is applied to the waist area, a small piece of kinesio tape will be attached to the participant's thigh area and an allergy test will be performed. If the participant does not have any complaints within 5-10 minutes, the participant will be taped. The tape to be used in this study will be waterproof, porous, breathable, 5 cm wide and 0.5 mm thick.
After the initial evaluation is completed, kinesio taping will be applied to the paravertebral muscles. First, the participant will be asked to perform trunk flexion while standing with their forearms supported by a table. While the participant is in this position, two "I" shaped tapes will be attached to the right and left sides of the spine (in the cranial direction) along the paravertebral muscle line without applying tension. Then, the field correction technique will be applied. While the participant is standing with their forearms supported on the table, four "I" tapes overlapping in

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Kinesiotape Application in people with Lower Back Pain and Kinesio Taping, run by Nigde Omer Halisdemir University.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Kezban Sözen Sözen, PhD. (+905438056209, kezbankoras@ohu.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual Analog Skala (time frame: Before kinesio tape application). The study lists 13 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jan 2025.
