    This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of manual therapy versus Kinesio taping (KT) in treating tension type headaches (TTH) as they are the most common complaint among univer sity students, significantly impacting their academic performance. A randomized controlled study was conducted, including 45 female students. They were 18 25 years, divided into three groups. The first group (Manual therapy) received manual therapy and rel axation training, the second group (KT) received KT every 72 hours and relaxation exercises while the third group (Control) received relaxation exercises, all for three times/week for 8 weeks. The primary outcome was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scal e (VAS) for headache intensity. The secondary measure was the HIT 6 to evaluate the impact of TTH. Post treatment, all three groups showed a significant reduction in VAS scores compared to pre treatment (p<0.05). HIT 6 scores significantly decreased in the manual therapy and KT groups (p<0.05), whereas the control group showed no significant change (p>0.05). Additionally, the manual therapy group showed a significantly greater reduction in VAS scores compared to the KT group (p<0.05), although no discernibl e change was observed in HIT 6 scores (p>0.05). Both manual therapy and KT are useful for treating TTH. However, manual treatment alleviates p ain intensity more effectively.

    Effects of the neuromuscular bandage as rehabilitative treatment of patients with drooling and intellectual disability: an interventional study
    (2019-06) López Jornet, María Pía; Lorca Larrosa, M.; Ruiz Roca, J.A.; Ruiz Roca, M. I.; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física
    Background: The aim of this work was to assess the effect of neurological bandages (Kinesio Taping) for managing saliva flow in patients with drooling and intellectual disability. Methods: Quasi-experimental study included 30 patients (20 male and 10 female participants) mean age of 15 years with intellectual disability and drooling [Public Special Education Centre in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain)]. Treatment consisted of the application of a strip of neuromuscular bandage applied in the suprahyoid area for a 3-month period. Efficacy was assessed by means of three clinical scales: the Sialorrhea clinical scale, the drooling rating scale and the drooling impact scale. These evaluations were performed at baseline, after 1 and 3 months of intervention. Results: Clinical improvements were obtained, showing statistically significant reductions in drooling after 1 month (P < 0.001) and 3 months (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The application of neuromuscular bandages in the suprahyoid muscle area can be a useful option for managing drooling in patients with intellectual disability.
