The effect of magnetic tape on pain and autonomic nervous system in subject with lower back pain.
The effects of magnetic nanoparticles in tape applied in the lumbar spine on the autonomic nervous system measured with fully automated pupillometry and on pain in the spine measured with posterior to anterior pressure on the spinous process and the skin pinch test paravertebrally

Pupillometry
1 minute continues pupil diameter measure
Time frame: 60 seconds measure preceding tape application. After outcome 5
Pupillometry
1 minute continues pupil diameter measure
Time frame: Second 60 second measure immediate after tape application. After outcome 1
Pupillometry
1 minute continues pupil diameter measure
Time frame: Third 60 measure 3 minutes after the tape is removed. After outcome 2
PA spine
Anterior (PA) pressure on each spinal segment
Time frame: First PA measure of 5 seconds on each PA of 5 seconds on each segment is starting off the measurement phase. This is the first outcome measure
Skin pinch test
Bilaterally of each vertebrae
Time frame: 3 seconds skin pinch test at each level starting immediately following the first PA measure. After Outcome 4
PA spine
Anterior (PA) pressure on each spinal segment
Time frame: Five second measure of PA of 5 seconds each segment is taken immediately after the third pupillometry measure (tape removed). After outcome 3
Skin Pinch test
Bilaterally of each vertebrae
Time frame: 3 seconds skin pinch test at each level starting immediately following outcome 6
