Abstract

The objective. To substantiate the use of kinesiotaping in the complex treatment of patients with posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome based on clinical studies. Patients and methods. The dynamics of dizziness was assessed using the DHI dizziness rating scale (Dizziness Handicap Inventory) and the VRBQ (Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire) vestibular questionnaire among 60 patients, and headache and neck pain dynamics were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) to assess the dynamics of complaints of tinnitus, blurring of vision, nausea, vomiting, heart attacks, decreased concentration and attention were used by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), to evaluate the dynamics of blood flow, we used duplex scanning of the brachycephalic arteries, to assess anxiety self-assessment scale Sheehan anxiety, for assessing depression Beck depression scale. Results. In the kinesiotaping group, statistically reliable data were obtained (p<0.05) for reducing dizziness, headache, cervical pain, a decrease in tinnitus, defocusing of vision, and a decrease in concentration and attention. Statistically reliable data were obtained (p<0.05) for improving linear blood flow velocities (Vm, Vps) on the left vertebral artery at an extracranial level. Statistically reliable data were obtained (p<0.05) for the effectiveness of kinesiotaping for the correction of upper cross syndrome. Conclusion. The use of kinesiotaping can be recommended for the correction of biomechanical disturbances, correction of the upper cross syndrome, as well as for the treatment of patients with posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome and increase in linear blood flow velocities through the vertebral arteries.
