The purpose of this current randomized clinical trial is to determine the effects of myofascial soft tissue release and kinesio taping on disability, pain, quality of life, autonomic nervous system and oxidative stress indicators in chronic low back pain.
Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Objective: to determine the effects of myofascial soft tissue release and kinesio taping on pain, disability, quality of life, and autonomic nervous system indicators. Methods and Measures: sixty-four individuals will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Intervention: For 10-week, the group 1 will undergo treatment comprising a myofascial soft tissue release protocol (1/week) and the group 2 will recieve a kinesio taping treatment (1/week). Main Outcome Measures: Intensity of pain, disability, quality of life, biochemical stimation intertitial fluid, body mass indicators, hormonal indicators, indicators of autonomic nevous system, and indicators of oxidative stress will be collected in both groups at baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks after the last intervention. Baseline demographic and clinical variables will be examined between both groups with an independent Student t-test for continuous data. Separate 2x3 model ANOVA with time (baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks) as the within-subjects factor, group will be to determine the effects of the treatment.

Protocol: Myofascial release on thoracolumbar fascia, Myofascial release on diaphragm, Myofascial release in the psoas fascia, Indirect Myofascial release restrictions in the public area, Myofascial release in lumbo-sacral decompression, Myofascial release on sacrum, and Myofascial release on the lumbar fascia.
Two bands in "I", with anchor onset in sacrum, on paravertebral muscles. Furthermore a strip will be applies on correction space point of maximum pain.

Change from baseline in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)
This is a self-reported questionnaire consisting of 24 items reflecting limitations in different activities of daily living attributed to low back pain including walking, bending over, sitting, lying down, dressing, sleeping, self-care and daily activities
Time frame: At baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks
Change form baseline in Visual Analogue Scale
A 10-point Numerical Pain Scale (0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) assesses the intensity of pain.
Time frame: At baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks
Change from baseline in Lifestyle Indicators
Estimation of interstitial fluid biochemistry and measure the following indicators: body mass, hormonal, autonomic nervous system and oxidative stress.
Time frame: At baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks
Change from baseline on Neural Network Analysis
Analysis of the projection on the spine and segmental innervation projection.
Time frame: At baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks
Change from baseline on Quality of Life
SF-36 Health questionnaire scores range from 0 to 100% and indicate the self-perceived health-related quality of life.
Time frame: At baseline, 10 weeks and 15 weeks
