Kinesiotaping for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether kinesiotaping, a special tape placed on the skin, can help reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild knee osteoarthritis and are interested in a non-invasive treatment, this might be a good fit.

This study tests whether combining resisted exercise with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce knee pain and improve daily movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these treatments together work better than just one alone.
This study compares two non-drug therapies for knee osteoarthritis: Kinesio taping (a special tape placed on the skin) and interferential current therapy (a type of electrical stimulation). The goal is to see which works better for reducing pain and improving knee function.
This study tests whether adding kinesio taping (a special type of therapeutic tape) to standard care helps improve movement, reduce pain, improve balance, and make daily activities easier after total knee replacement surgery.
This study tests whether special therapeutic tape (kinesiotape) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with meniscus injuries in the knee. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions your knee, and this trial sees if the tape can help your body heal without surgery.
This study compares two types of taping (Kinesio and McConnell) to see which works better for people with pain behind the kneecap (patellofemoral pain syndrome). You may help researchers learn how to best relieve knee pain during daily activities.
This study tests if kinesiology tape (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with sudden, short-term low back pain. It may be an option if your pain just started and you haven't had long-term back issues.
