Kinesiotaping for moderate knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether special therapeutic tape applied to the knee can help reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. You'll be evaluated before and after the taping to see if it makes a difference in how you move and feel.

This trial tests whether combining resisted exercise (strengthening movements) with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce pain and improve daily activities like walking and climbing stairs for people with knee osteoarthritis.
This study compares two treatments—kinesio taping (special elastic tape) and interferential current therapy (a type of electrical stimulation)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. It is for people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis in one knee.
This study tests whether kinesio taping (a special stretchy tape placed on the skin) can help improve movement, reduce pain, and make daily activities easier for people who have had a total knee replacement.
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 whether a special athletic tape applied to your calf muscle affects how well the muscle uses oxygen, your pain sensitivity, and muscle function. Researchers want to understand if this tape could help with muscle performance and comfort.
