Summary

This study evaluates the effects of ischemic compression and kinesiology taping techniques on pain intensity and lumbar range of motion in individuals with chronic low back pain. Participants are assigned to one of three groups: a conventional treatment group, a conventional treatment plus kinesiology taping group, or a conventional treatment plus ischemic compression group. Interventions are administered over a three-week period. Outcome measures are assessed before and after the intervention using standardized assessment methods. The purpose is to compare changes among groups and examine the effects of adding these techniques to conventional treatment.

Detailed description

Chronic low back pain is a common musculoskeletal condition associated with pain, reduced mobility, and functional limitations. Nonpharmacological interventions are frequently used to support symptom management and improve physical function. Manual therapy techniques and supportive therapeutic applications are commonly included in rehabilitation programs for individuals with chronic low back pain. This study is designed to investigate the effects of ischemic compression and kinesiology taping techniques in individuals with chronic low back pain. Participants are assigned to different intervention groups receiving either conventional treatment alone or conventional treatment combined with additional therapeutic techniques. Interventions are delivered according to structured protocols over a defined treatment period. Outcome measures evaluate changes in pain intensity and lumbar range of motion using standardized assessment methods.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Conventional Physiotherapy Program	Conventional treatment consists of standard physiotherapy modalities administered according to a structured protocol during scheduled sessions over a three-week period.
PROCEDURE	Kinesiology Taping	Kinesiology taping is applied using standardized techniques by a trained therapist according to a structured application protocol during the treatment period.
PROCEDURE	Ischemic Compression Therapy	Ischemic compression therapy is a manual technique applied by a therapist using sustained pressure to targeted areas according to a structured treatment protocol during scheduled sessions.
