Kinesio tape for forearm nerve compression
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special elastic tape (Kinesio tape) placed on the forearm can help relieve pain and symptoms caused by lacertus syndrome, a condition where a tissue band presses on a nerve. If you qualify, you will apply the tape at home following a treatment plan, and the researchers will see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- A doctor must have confirmed you have lacertus syndrome, which happens when a band of tissue in your forearm presses on a nerve.
- You must have tenderness in the elbow area and symptoms when you turn your forearm or bend your elbow.
- You must not have other nerve problems like carpal tunnel syndrome or a pinched nerve in your neck.
- You cannot be pregnant, have had surgery for this condition, or be allergic to tape.

This trial tests if a special tape placed on the arm can help reduce pain and improve symptoms in people with cubital tunnel syndrome. It may be a good option if you have arm pain and have not had surgery or certain injections recently.
This study compares two ways of applying kinesiotape (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical way to feel better.
This study compares two taping methods to see which works better for people with ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow. It will test whether Kinesio taping can help relieve symptoms like tingling in the ring and pinky fingers, hand weakness, elbow pain, or nighttime discomfort.
This study tests whether a special tape placed on the forearm can reduce pain and improve recovery after a workout. It involves healthy young adults who exercise regularly.
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure to release the median nerve at the elbow in people with Lacertus syndrome (a condition where the nerve gets compressed). It aims to relieve symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the hand and forearm.
This trial tests whether a special tape, called Kinesio tape, can quickly reduce symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels are squeezed in the space between the collarbone and first rib. It may help with pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm and hand.
