Kinesio tape for new shoulder or chest injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your injury happened within the last 24 hours
- Your injury is limited to either one shoulder or one chest wall area
- You have one of these injury types: rib fracture; collarbone injury with little/no dislocation; certain AC-joint injuries (Tossy 1 or 2); or a near/not-dislocated upper arm bone fracture
- You cannot have 3 or more rib fractures
- You can’t have rib fractures on ribs 1 to 3

This trial tests whether Kinesio taping, a special type of elastic tape, can reduce long-term swelling in the breast or upper body (trunk) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer and still have swelling lasting more than six months, this study may help find a new way to manage that swelling.
This study tests whether kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape applied to the skin) can reduce pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff syndrome, a common shoulder condition. You'll be randomly assigned to receive the tape or a control treatment and tracked over several weeks.
This study tests whether applying kinesiology tape to the shoulders can help improve rounded shoulder posture. It may be helpful for young adults who have this posture issue and want to try a non-invasive approach.
This trial tests whether a special tape, called Kinesio tape, can quickly reduce symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels are squeezed in the space between the collarbone and first rib. It may help with pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm and hand.
This study tests Kinesio taping, a specialized tape placed on the skin, to see if it helps reduce pain from trigger points in the upper back muscle. You would receive either the tape or a comparison treatment to see if it eases your neck or shoulder pain.
This study tests whether a special athletic tape (Kinesio tape) applied to your lower back and shoulder area can improve flexibility and reduce shoulder pain in people with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched, causing long-term pain and stiffness.
