Taping for babies with a tight neck muscle
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special kind of tape (kinesio taping) helps improve neck movement and posture in babies with a condition called congenital muscular torticollis. It may be a comfortable, drug-free way to support your child's neck and help them turn their head more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of congenital muscular torticollis.
- You (the family) must agree to take part in the study.
- Your child must not have a heart or lung disease that would make exercise unsafe.
- Your child must not have a bone or joint problem (other than the torticollis) that would limit exercise.
- There must be no open wounds on the neck area where the tape would go, and your child must not be allergic to the tape.

This study compares two types of physical therapy for babies with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle causing the head to tilt). One group gets standard in-person therapy, the other does therapy through video calls. The goal is to see if home-based remote sessions can be as effective as clinic visits.
This study tests a type of therapy that helps babies with a tight neck muscle (congenital muscular torticollis) learn to use both arms evenly while lying on their tummy. It aims to improve symmetry and head control during tummy time.
This study tests a new way to measure how far babies can turn their heads, helping doctors better understand and treat a condition where the neck is twisted. It is for infants with torticollis who are already going to a chiropractor.
This study tests whether Kinesio tape—a stretchy, therapeutic tape placed on the skin—can help reduce neck pain in women who are breastfeeding. If you are a young mother with neck pain, this treatment may offer a drug-free option to ease discomfort.
This study compares three types of physical therapy exercises for people with upper crossed syndrome, a condition where the neck and shoulders have poor posture causing pain and weakness. It tests if adding special tape (kinesiotaping) to exercise helps improve posture and reduce pain more than exercise alone.
This study tests whether combining postural exercises with taping can help people with long-term neck pain who work at a desk. It aims to find a simple way to reduce pain and improve comfort.
