Kinesio taping for low back pain in operating room nurses
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether kinesio taping (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help operating room nurses feel less low back pain, less fatigue, and sleep better. If you're a nurse who works in the operating room, this might be a way to see if this simple approach can improve your comfort and rest.
