Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application on upper trapezius muscle after cervical spine surgery.
Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive conservative treatment and Kinesio Taping application. The second group will receive conservative treatment and the third group will receive only Kinesio taping application. The treatment procedure will continue for post-operatively three days and assessments will be done four times; before the surgery, post-operative 1st day, postoperative 3rd day and two weeks after surgery. Data will be recorded on patient assessment file and transferred to the computer. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.22.

|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1: Kinesio Taping and Conventional treatment | Experimental | The number of participants in this group is anticipated to be 30. The treatment method for this group is the conventional treatment + KT (Kinesio Taping) (Space Correction). In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive Range Of Motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist. In KT technique, while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle. |
|
| Group 2: Conventional treatment | Active Comparator | The number of participants in this group are anticipated to be 30. This group will be receiving only conventional treatment. In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive range of motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist. |

In kinesio taping technique while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Pain Intensity | Neck pain intensity will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The VAS is usually a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end with "No Pain" (score of zero) on the left side up to "pain as bad as it could be" or the "worst imaginable pain" (Score of 100 [100-mm scale]) on the right side.The patient was asked to mark the line point that represented his or her current pain. | Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery |
| Pain pressure threshold | Pain pressure threshold of the trapezius muscle will be evaluated by digital pressure algometry. In the process, three measurements will be taken and the average value will be taken as reference. | Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Range of Motion (ROM) | Range of motion will be measured with a goniometer. The goniometer is valid and reliable tool. | Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery |
| Disability | Disability will be assessed with Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD). Turkish version of the Neck Pain and Disability Scale is including 20 items which measure the intensity of neck pain and related disability. Item scores range from 0 to 5. Each item has a 10-cm visual analog scale. It has six major divisions divided into equal intervals by vertical bars. The questions are investigating the relationship between neck pain severity and pain on occupational life, recreational activities, social and functional aspects of living, and emotional factors. High scores indicate serious disabilities. |

| Health Related Quality of Life Score | Quality of life will be assessed with Short Form-36 (SF-36).The SF-36, It generates 8 subscales and two summary scores.The 8 subscales are; physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, role, limitations due to emotional problems, energy/fatigue, emotional well-being, social functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions. The two summary scores are the physical component summary and the mental component summary. Scoring the SF-36 consists of 36 items. Each item is scored on a 0 to 100 range so that the lowest and highest possible scores are 0 and 100, respectively. | Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery |
| Functionality Score | The functionality will be assessed with Upper Extremity Functional Index-15 (UEFI-15). The UEFI-15 consists of 15 questions on a 5- point rating scale assessing level of difficulty in performing activities of daily living using the upper extremities. 0 indicates extreme difficulty while 4 indicates no difficulty wit a task. The scores given to the 15 questions are added to give the highest possible score of 60 and the lowest possible score is 0. A lower score indicates that the person is reporting increased difficulty with the activities as a result of their upper limb functionality. | Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery |
