Résumé
Low-back pain is a worldwide pain syndrome causing important limitations to daily activity. Common treatment guidelines recommend drugs and exercise. To evaluate the efficacy of a standardized NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) lumbar application in reducing pain and improving function associated with back-school therapy (BST). Single-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group was treated with BTS followed by three applications of NMT over 8 days and the control group who underwent only BST. All patients were evaluated before and at the end of treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks from the end of BST and with a follow-up at distance of three months from the last evaluation, with pain numeric scale, Oswestry disability index and Schober test. Significant pain reduction and functional improvement have been observed in the follow-up evaluations in the experimental group. Association of a standardized NMT application to BTS was seen to significantly improve function and reduce pain with longer time efficacy.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Low-back pain is a worldwide pain syndrome causing important limitations to daily activity. Common treatment guidelines recommend drugs and exercise.
AIM
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of a standardized NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) lumbar application in reducing pain and improving function associated with back-school therapy (BST).
METHODS
METHODS
Single-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group was treated with BTS followed by three applications of NMT over 8 days and the control group who underwent only BST. All patients were evaluated before and at the end of treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks from the end of BST and with a follow-up at distance of three months from the last evaluation, with pain numeric scale, Oswestry disability index and Schober test.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Significant pain reduction and functional improvement have been observed in the follow-up evaluations in the experimental group.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Association of a standardized NMT application to BTS was seen to significantly improve function and reduce pain with longer time efficacy.
