Kinesio taping for premenstrual syndrome
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment called Kinesio taping (a specialized elastic tape placed on the skin) can reduce the physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). If you have significant PMS, this could offer a drug-free option to help you feel better.
