Turkey (Türkiye)42 participantsStarted 2023-06-04

Plain-language summary

Pregnant women may experience pregnancy-related low back pain and this pain may negatively affect function. There are studies in the literature that Kinesiotape applications improve pain. There is no study examining the effect of Kinesiotape application in addition to exercise on pregnancy-related low back pain and function. At the end of our study, we will compare the effects of Kinesiotape application for a total of 8 sessions for 4 weeks on pain and function.
