Summary

This study looked at whether placing special elastic tape (kinesio taping) on the lower back during labor can reduce low back pain, improve a mother's confidence in giving birth vaginally, and increase comfort after delivery. 75 pregnant women in active labor were randomly assigned to receive either kinesio taping, a placebo tape, or no tape. Pain was measured at different stages of labor and after birth.
