Kinesiology taping for acute low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.

This trial tests two different kinesio taping methods for people with chronic low back pain. The goal is to see how taping affects the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back and whether it can help relieve pain.
This study tests whether a combination of Kinesio taping (a type of elastic tape applied to the back) and Schroth therapy (specialized exercises for scoliosis) can help reduce pain in young adults with mild to moderate idiopathic scoliosis. If you are between 18 and 30, have a curve of 10–30 degrees, and have had recent back pain, this trial may be an option for you.
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 if a special tape (called Kinesio tape) placed on your lower back helps reduce pain, tiredness, and helps you sleep better. It's for nurses who work in the operating room.
This study tests whether combining stretching exercises with special therapeutic tape can safely reduce lower back pain during pregnancy. If it works, it could offer pregnant women a non-medication option to feel better.
This study compares two types of gentle therapy — kinesio taping (a sticky tape that supports muscles) and myofascial release (a massage technique) — to see which works better for period-related low back pain in young women who haven't had sex.
