The objective of this study was to assess a new treatment, Medi-Taping, which aims at reducing complaints by treating pelvic obliquity with a combination of manual treatment of trigger points and kinesio taping in a pragmatic RCT with pilot character.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One hundred ten patients were randomized at two study centers either to Medi-Taping or to a standard treatment consisting of patient education and physiotherapy as control. Treatment duration was 3\u00a0weeks. Measures were taken at baseline, end of treatment and at follow-up after 2\u00a0months. Main outcome criteria were low back pain measured with VAS, the Chronic Pain Grade Scale (CPGS) and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODQ).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients of both groups benefited from the treatment by medium to large effect sizes. All effects were pointing towards the intended direction. While Medi-Taping showed slightly better improvement rates, there were no significant differences for the primary endpoints between groups at the end of treatment (VAS: mean difference in change 0.38, 95-CI [\u2212\u20090.45; 1.21]\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.10; ODQ 2.35 [\u2212\u20090.77; 5.48]\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.14; CPGS \u2212\u20090.19 [\u2212\u20090.46; 0.08]\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.64) and at follow-up.
