OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different taping techniques on back muscle fatigue in people with low back pain. METHODS: Sixty women with chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned to four groups of 15 participants each: control (CG), Kinesio Taping (KT) with tension (KTT), KT no tension (KTNT) and Micropore® (MP), which were applied over the erector spinae muscles. The median frequency (MF) fatigue slopes of the longissimus muscle and sustained contraction time during a trunk fatigue test (Ito test), and pain using the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) were collected at three time points: pre-treatment, three and ten days after intervention at a university laboratory. RESULTS: Significant differences were seen in the MF slopes between groups (p= 0.01, η2= 0.20), with the KTT showing a mean difference (MD = 0.31, p= 0.04) and KTNT (MD = 0.28, p= 0.04) compared with CG. Significant reductions in NPRS were seen between time points (p< 0.001, η2= 0.28), with a reduction between pre and 3 days (MD = 1.87, p< 0.001), and pre and 10 days (MD = 1.38, p< 0.001), with KTT and KTNT both showing clinically important changes. CONCLUSION: KT, with or without tension, has a tendency to reduce back muscle fatigue and reduce pain in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Background:The technique of Kinesio-Taping is a method of adhesive bandage exerting traction on the skin which would favorably influence the muscular and articular systems by reducing the pressure exerted on the subcutaneous mechanoreceptors thus reducing pain and muscle tension.Objectives:The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Kinesio-Taping in the short and medium term on pain and function in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain compared to a placebo.Methods:We conducted a double-blind, two-arm randomized clinical trial. The study should include a total of 70 patients randomized into 2 groups: Kinesio-Taping (n = 35) and control group (n = 35). To this date we have included 46 patients.All patients receives four I-shaped adhesive strips arranged in a star-like shape and applied to the most painful region of the lower back with a tension between 25% to 30% in the taping group. The placebo group received a taping procedure with no tension.Taping is applied three times (at baseline, fourth and eighth day). Patients are assessed at baseline, on day 14 and at 4 weeks by the Arabic version of the Oswestry Physical and Functional Disability Index (ODI) which is the primary outcome. The secondary outcomes are the assessment of pain and functional disability according to the visual analog scale (VAS) evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10, as well as Rolland-Morris score.Results:Both groups were comparable at baseline concerning the demographical and clinical characteristics (P > 0.05) (table 1). The result of repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant change in ODI score and in VAS for pain and functional disability as well as Rolland-Morris score in both groups. Using the ANCOVA, controlling for pre-test scores, a significant difference was found between the two groups (table 2).Table 1. Clinical characteristics of study population.Conclusion:Our clinical trial offers preliminary evidence on the superiority of Kinesio-Taping in the treatment chronic back pain compared to placebo concerning the reduction of pain and disability. Thus, it can be used as a complementary method in chronic non-specific low back pain.Table 2. Primary and secondary outcomes in the Kinesio-Taping and placebo group.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

An intramuscular epidermal cyst without subcutaneous involvement is extremely rare. The patient presented with low back pain. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging indicated spindle-shaped mass in the right erector spinae muscles located at L3 to L5 level without any connection with subcutaneous tissue. The patient underwent operation for removal of intramuscular cystic lesion. The tumor was totally removed and pathologically confirmed with epidermal cyst. Unlike typical epidermal cyst, the patient had a characteristic clinical manifestation of mild low back pain without palpable mass and local tenderness.

ObjectivesCharacteristics of muscle activity, represented by surface electromyography (EMG), have revealed differences between patients with low back pain (LBP) and healthy adults; how they relate to functional and clinical parameters remains unclear. The purpose of the current study was to examine the correlation between frequency characteristics of EMG (analysed using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) analysis) and patients’ self-rated score of disability.Design and settingThis is a case-control study with 15 patients with mechanical LBP without radicular symptoms. Patients were recruited from the orthopaedic clinic at Charing Cross Hospital. Ten healthy adults were recruited from the staff working in the hospital and associated university. Patients completed the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and bilateral EMG activity was obtained from erector spinae at vertebral levels L4 and T12. Subjects performed three brief maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) of the back extensors and the torque was measured using a dynamometer. CWT was applied to the EMG signals of each muscle in a 200 ms window centred around the peak torque obtained during the MVICs. The ratio (low/high frequencies) of the energy, the peak power and the frequency of the peak power were calculated for each recording site, averaged and correlated with the individual’s RMDQ score.ResultsPatients had lower peak power (T12 and L4) and lower frequency of the peak power (at T12) than the healthy adults. Additionally, RMDQ positively correlated to the average ratio of energy at T12 (r=0.63; p=0.012), that is, greater self-rated disability corresponded to a dominant distribution of energy in the lower frequencies.ConclusionThe current findings reveal alterations in EMG profile and its association with self-related back pain disability, suggesting that spectral characteristics of EMG reflect muscle function.

Aim: To evaluate pain and length of stay outcomes in six patients who received an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in the emergency department (ED) for low back pain. Materials & methods: A case series of six patients who received unilateral or bilateral ESPB after presenting to the ED for acute atraumatic axial low back pain. Results: The average visual analog scale pain score reduction was 81.8%, and length of stay after ESPB was 73.5 min. No postprocedure opiates in the ED or after discharge were required. Conclusion: The ESPB is a rapid, safe and opiate-sparing option for the treatment of acute low back pain.
