Özet
Purpose: To compare the effects of spinal stabilization exercise (SSE) plus kinesio taping (KT) and SSE alone on pain and well-being in women with fibromyalgia (FM). Material and methods: Patients with FM were randomly allocated into SSE (n:19) and SSE + KT (n:17) groups. Pain and fatigue with Visual Analog Scale, health status with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, quality of life (QoL) with Nottingham Health Profile, depression with Beck Depression Inventory, sleep quality with Jenkins Sleep Scale were assessed. SSE and KT with fascial correction technique were carried out 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Results: SSE + KT was more effective in decreasing pain and fatigue, and improving some parameters related to health status and the QoL compared to SSE alone (p < 0.05). After treatment, pain, depression, health status, QoL, and sleep quality improved in both groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: SSE with KT was superior for improving pain and general well-being compared to SSE alone.
