Acupressure or kinesio tape for IUD-related back pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two non-drug treatments—acupressure and kinesio tape—to see which works better for low back pain caused by an intrauterine device (IUD). It aims to find a safe, drug-free way to ease discomfort.

This study compares two hands-on treatments for menstrual low back pain: kinesio taping (a special tape applied to the skin) and myofascial release (a type of gentle massage). The goal is to see which one reduces pain better in young women with period-related back pain.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for low back pain in women after menopause: kinesiotaping (a special tape placed on the skin) and endurance exercise. It aims to see which one better reduces pain and improves balance.
This trial tests two different kinesio taping methods for people with chronic low back pain. The goal is to see how taping affects the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back and whether it can help relieve pain.
This study tests whether a small device called a TENS unit can reduce pain during IUD insertion. The TENS unit sends gentle electrical pulses through pads on your skin to help block pain signals, and you'll be part of a group that uses it during the procedure.
This study tests if kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with sudden, short-term low back pain. It may be an option if your pain just started and you haven't had long-term back issues.
This study tests if adding kinesiology tape to the abdomen can help with period pain in young women ages 18-25. It also looks at how relaxation techniques might work together with the tape to reduce pain.
