Abstract/Notes

Objectives: The aim of the study was to examine the short-term changes of elastic adhesive tape application on pain intensity and the range of motion (ROM), cervical region proprioception sense, and cervical flexor endurance of patients with chronic neck pain.

Methods: Thirty-four patients (male: 26, female: 8) between ages 20 and 55 with chronic neck pain having the complaints for at least 6 months were included in the study. Demographic information, pain intensity, cervical ROM, cervical flexor endurance, and cervical proprioception sense of the patients were evaluated. Results were examined 2 times. The first evaluation was conducted prior to elastic adhesive tape application and the second one was conducted 24 hours after the procedure.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.56 ± 17.09 years, average height was 165.65 ± 9.83 cm, average weight was 71.44 ± 15.79 kg, and average body mass index was 26.24 ± 6.62. A statistically significant difference was found between the measurement results of pain intensity, ROM of the joint in flexion, extension, right and left rotation, and cervical flexor endurance before and 24 hours after the application of elastic adhesive tape (P < .05). When the proprioception sense was examined, there was a significant difference between the results before elastic adhesive tape application and 24 hours after the same application in deviation angles except for right rotation (P < .05).

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed short-term changes following the use of elastic adhesive tape on cervical flexor endurance, pain, and cervical proprioception sense for patients with chronic pain.
