About this trial

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the combined effects of kinesiotaping and core stability exercises on pain, functional disability, and fear-avoidance beliefs in female patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

Description: The NPRS is a simple, quick, and widely used tool in both clinical and research settings for musculoskeletal pain conditions. It demonstrates excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.79 to 0.96

Time frame
6th week.
2

Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI)

Description: The MODI is a widely used and validated tool for assessing disability related to low back and pelvic girdle disorders. It has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.88 to 0.97

Time frame
6 weeks
3

Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)

The FABQ assesses patient beliefs with regard to the effect of physical activity and work on their Low Back Pain. It exhibits excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.82

Time frame
6 weeks
