Kinesiology tape for rounded shoulder posture in young adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying kinesiology tape to the shoulders can help improve rounded shoulder posture. It may be helpful for young adults who have this posture issue and want to try a non-invasive approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape placed on the back) can improve posture and balance in people with an exaggerated upper back curve (hyperkyphosis). It may help you if you have poor posture or back pain and meet the age and curve requirements.
This study tests whether adding kinesio taping to a special exercise program (Schroth therapy) helps reduce pain and improve posture in young adults with mild scoliosis. It may offer a non-surgical option to manage symptoms.
This study tests whether kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape applied to the skin) can reduce pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff syndrome, a common shoulder condition. You'll be randomly assigned to receive the tape or a control treatment and tracked over several weeks.
This study tests whether a special athletic tape (Kinesio tape) applied to your lower back and shoulder area can improve flexibility and reduce shoulder pain in people with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched, causing long-term pain and stiffness.
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 trial looks at whether kinesio tape (elastic therapeutic tape) helps pain and movement after a fresh shoulder or chest wall injury. It’s designed for certain types of rib, collarbone, or shoulder joint injuries when the injury happened very recently.
