CLBP Chronic Low Back Pain, 95% CI 95% Confidence Interval, KT Kinesio Taping group, ODI Oswestry Disability Index, VAS Visual Analog Scale, S/A Sensory and Affective, PPI Present Pain Intensity, AE Absolute Error, CE Constant Error. Values are expressed as mean (SD) for baseline and 3 days after taping and as mean (95% confidence interval) for within- and between-group differences
  2. *Significant differences (P < 0.05) within group
  3. ≠Significant differences (P < 0.05) between group
  4. ±Cohen classified effect sizes as small (d =  0.2), medium (d =  0.5), and large (d ≥ 0.8)
