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.

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 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 uses sensors to measure how your back moves during different activities. It compares people with long-term low back pain to those without pain to better understand back movement.
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.
