Taping for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special stretching technique for the connective tissue in your lower back can help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low back pain (pain lasting 3 months or more). You would attend physiotherapy sessions and do regular stretches.
This study compares two types of gentle therapy — kinesio taping (a sticky tape that supports muscles) and myofascial release (a massage technique) — to see which works better for period-related low back pain in young women who haven't had sex.
This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special stretchy tape on the skin) or endurance exercises better relieve low back pain in women after menopause. It may help you if you are between 50 and 60, have general low back pain, and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests if a non-invasive device called TENS (which uses gentle electrical pulses) can help relieve low back pain that comes from muscle knots or tight bands. The device is applied to the skin over the painful area.
This study looks at the tissue in your lower back using ultrasound and physical exams. It tests a treatment to see if it helps people with new or long-term low back pain, and also compares results to people without pain.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
