Abstract

Our main aim in this study is to compare the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy in the context of sleep quality of participants with chronic low back pain and the effectiveness of kinesiology taping applied to the waist area in a very short time. 40 participants (30 females, 10 males) whose age ranges ranged from 25 to 50 years were randomly divided into two groups (banding group and control group). In both groups, a home exercise program was given by applying therapeutic ultrasound for 5 minutes, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for 30 minutes and infrared for 30 minutes. In kinesiology taping groups, taping was applied to the waist region with the star technique, once for 48 hours. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) for pain, hip flexor flexibility test and hand-finger floor distance test for flexibility, Berg balance scale for balance, Beck anxiety scale for anxiety, Oswestry disability index for disability level, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia, sleep quality Pittsburg sleep quality index and Nottingham life profiles were used for quality of life. Evaluations were made twice, before and after the treatment. The significance level was accepted as p <0.05
