Kinesio Tape for Rotator Cuff Shoulder Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
