Neuromuscular Taping on Muscle Pain in Patients With Degenerative Osteoarticular Disease of the Spine

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if neuromuscular taping (kinesio taping), added to a standard exercise program, reduces muscle pain in adults with chronic neck pain or chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disease of the spine (such as facet joint osteoarthritis, spondylosis, or degenerative disc disease). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does neuromuscular taping, applied once a week for 3 weeks in addition to standard exercise therapy, reduce muscle pain more than placebo taping? Researchers will compare neuromuscular taping applied with a muscle and fascial technique to placebo taping (the same tape placed on the same area without tension or therapeutic technique) to see if the active taping provides greater pain relief.

Inclusion Criteria: * Men and women aged 18 years or older * Persistent pain (duration of more than 3 months) with a diagnosis of chronic -neck pain or chronic low back pain due to degenerative joint disease * Stable pain treatment, with no changes expected during the following 3 weeks * Willingness to participate and signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Cervicobrachialgia (neck pain radiating to the arm) * Lumbosciatica (low back pain radiating to the leg) * Pregnancy in the second or third trimester * Skin conditions that contraindicate the application of neuromuscular tape * Allergy to adhesive materials * Thrombosis or risk of thrombosis * Severe trauma that has not been previously examined and diagnosed by a physician * Participation in another clinical trial involving an experimental intervention during the period of this trial and/or with a visit schedule incompatible with this trial
