Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Kinesio Taping (KT) combined with deep muscle stimulation (DMS) on non-specific neck pain (NNP).Methods From January to December, 2018, 56 patients with NNP were randomly divided into control group (n = 28) and study group (n = 28). The control group accepted interference electrotherapy and magnetic vibration heat, and the study group accepted KT and DMS in addition, for two weeks. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain and Neck Disability Index (NDI) before treatment, and after one and two weeks of treatment.Results The score of VAS and NDI decreased after treatment (F > 4.137, P< 0.05), and were less in the study group than in the control group (t > 4.008, P < 0.001). Conclusion KT combined with DMS could promote the relief of NNP.
