About this study

33 patients will be given a home exercise program that strengthens the waist and hip girdle (to be shown once in the hospital by a physiotherapist and the form of the exercises will be given), 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping (KT) with ligament correction technique with the exercise program, and 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping with lymphatic correction technique with the exercise program. Patients will do the exercises once a day for 1 month. KT will be repeated once a week for 3 weeks. When taping is performed, it will be kept for 5 days.The patients' pain at rest and during movement will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (VAS). Patient Global Assessment and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be questioned. Evaluations will be performed before, 4th week and 1 month after treatment (8th week).

Treatment and study plan

home exercise

Procedure

This is a home exercise programme that involves flexibility and strengthening of the waist, hip girdle and sacroiliac region. These exercises are first shown by the physiotherapist in hospital, and then they are asked to do the exercises at home using illustrated forms. Patients continue the exercises as a home programme once a day for 1 month.

Ligament Correction Kinesiotaping

Procedure

Ligament correction kinesiotaping will be applied to the patients' sacroiliac region. Taping will be done once a week. It will be kept for 5 days. This application will be repeated 3 times.

Lymphatic Correction Kinesiotaping

Procedure

Lymphatic correction kinesiotaping will be applied to the patients' sacroiliac region. Taping will be done once a week. It will be kept for 5 days. This application will be repeated 3 times.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain at rest

    Time frame: Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Follow-up at 8th week (T3)

    Pain at rest will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (0-10 cm).Patients are asked to rate their pain at rest over the past week and to mark a point on a 10 cm line with endpoints '0 = no pain' and '10 = worst pain imaginable'. The distance (cm) measured from the 'no pain' endpoint to the point marked by the patient is reported as the VAS score.

  2. Pain at movement

    Time frame: Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Follow-up at 8th week (T3)

    Pain at movement will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (0-10 cm).Patients are asked to rate their pain at rest over the past week and to mark a point on a 10 cm line with endpoints '0 = no pain' and '10 = worst pain imaginable'. The distance (cm) measured from the 'no pain' endpoint to the point marked by the patient is reported as the VAS score.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient Global Assessment

    Time frame: Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Followup at 8th week (T3)

    Patient Global Assessment in the last week will be questioned by Visuel Analog Scale. Patients will be asked to mark their global assessment on a 0-10 cm visual analog scale (0:very good -10: very poor). Lower values indicate better status.

  2. Oswestry Disability Index

    Time frame: Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Followup at 8th week (T3)

    Oswestry Disability Index will be questioned to determine the level of disability.The degree of disability is quantified on a scale of 0 to 100%. As the total score increases, the level of disability also increases.
