Summary
This study tests whether special tape placed on the neck can reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life in women aged 45-65 going through menopause. Fifty women with non-specific neck pain will be split into three groups: two different taping methods and one no-tape control group. The tape is applied weekly for three weeks, and pain levels are tracked for a month.
