About this study
The tape will be applied on the lumbar area bilateralemten to the spine without creating any tension.
The possible variation in the range of motion in internal hip rotation is measured with the KInovea program. A kinesiology tape was used as a placebo tape and the magnetic tape was used in a randomized experimental way.
Read the detailed description
A triple-blind cross-sectional observational study is designed where subjects with low back pain will be selected and blinded to receive the Magnetic Tape® (tape with magnetic effects of less than 2 Gauss) or placebo Tape. Likewise, the evaluator who puts the Magnetic Tape® does not know what material he is using, as it is supplied by another researcher. The patient does not know what tape will be placed on him.
The recommendations of the "Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials" (CONSORT) will be followed. All participants will receive a participant information sheet and sign informed consent. Patients aged 18 to 65 years with low back pain will be recruited from different private clinics in the city of Valencia, Spain.
The hypothesis is that when Magnetic Tape® comes into contact with electromagnetic fields such as those generated by living beings, due to the movement of electrical charges (ions), as defined by Ampere's Law, the domains of the tape are oriented or aligned in parallel with the external magnetic field creating a magnetic flux with a north pole and a south pole. This generated field in turn produces a magnetic induction proportional to the variation of the magnetic flux, as defined by the Faraday Law.
This electric potential produces a redistribution of the electric charge (ions) generating a magnetic field due to the orientation of the tape domains, then exerting a force on the moving charges within the electrolyte.
Physiological, Lorentz's Law, regulating Magnetic Tape® aberrant electromagnetic fields.
The protocol for data collection will be as follows:
After signing the informed consent and data protection, the groups with low back pain will be formed that will receive the application of both Magnetic Tape® and the intervention of a placebo tape. To avoid that the order of the intervention influences the results of the study, the subjects will be randomized into two different groups, Group A and Group B. Group A will receive Magnetic tape® and Group B will do the opposite. The next day the other tape will be applied Passive joint ROM of both hips is assessed by placing the patient in a supine position with 90º hip and knee flexion, performing passive internal hip rotation. The video camera is located perpendicular (ceiling) to the ipsilateral knee and hip to make recordings and measurements.
The tapes will be placed on the paravertebral skin from L1 to L5 without creating tension.
Subsequently, both hips are assessed again, performing passive internal hip rotation again and recording the degrees of range of motion.
Each subject will be your control since one day a tape will be placed and the next day the other.
Neither application has to be painful.

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Range of motion (time frame: Changes from Range of motion first assessment before placing the tapes and inmediatly after placing experimental tape and placebo tape.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Feb 2024.
