| Popis: | Kalichman L, Vered E, Volchek L. Relieving symptoms of meralgia paresthetica using Kinesio taping: a pilot study. Objective To assess the effect of the novel Kinesio taping treatment approach on meralgia paresthetica (MP) symptoms. Design Repeated measurements, feasibility study of 1 intervention. Setting Referral private physical therapy clinic. Participants Men (n=6) and women (n=4) with clinically and electromyographically diagnosed MP. Intervention Application of Kinesio tape, twice a week for 4 weeks (8 treatment sessions in total). Main Outcome Measures Visual analog scale (VAS) of MP symptoms (pain/burning sensation/paresthesia), VAS global quality of life (QOL), and the longest and broadest parts of the symptom area were measured. Results All outcome measures significantly improved after 4 weeks of treatment. Mean VAS QOL ± SD decreased from 69.0±23.4 to 35.3±25.2 ( t =4.3; P =.002). Mean VAS of MP symptoms ± SD decreased from 60.5±20.8 to 31.4±26.6 ( t =5.9; P >.001). Length and width of affected area decreased from 25.5±5.5 to 13.7±6.7 ( t =5.1; P >.001) and 15.3±2.1 to 7.4±4.3 ( t =5.3; P >.001), respectively. Conclusions Kinesio taping can be used in the treatment of MP. Future randomized placebo-controlled trials should be designed with patients and assessors blind to the type of intervention. |
