Meta-analysis of the efficacy of kinesio tape on low back pain in pregnancy
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of kinesio tape on low back pain during pregnancy.Meth-ods A computerized search of CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,and Web of Science databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of kinesio tape on low back pain in pregnancy.The search period was from the establishment of the database to February 20,2024,and two researchers strictly screened the literature,extracted the data,evaluated the quality,and applied RevMan 5.4 software to perform meta-analysis for the outcome indicators that met meta-analysis;otherwise,descriptive analysis was performed.Results A total of 570 patients were included in 9 papers.meta-analysis showed that the kinesio tape group was better than the control group in improving visual analog scale(VAS)score(SMD=-1.57,95％CI:-2.11--1.02,P＜0.000 01)and RMDQ(SMD=-1.15,95％CI:-1.81--0.49,P=0.000 6);descriptive analysis showed that the kinesio tape may improve the size of trunk angle,lumbar spine range of motion,Oswestry Lower Back Disability Index(ODI),Zung Self-Assessment Scale for Anxiety(SAS),Self-Depression Scale(SDS),and Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire(PGQ)scores in pregnant women,but it had no significant effect on the degree of lumbar curvature and the improvement of walking speed.Conclusion Existing evidence proves that kinesio tape can relieve low back pain and improve lumbar function in pregnant women;however,the effect on improving the size of trunk angle,lumbar spine range of motion,ODI,SAS,SDS,and PGQ scores of pregnant women is still unclear,and the effect on the degree of lumbar spine curvature and walking speed of pregnant women is not significant.
