NCT ID NCT06829992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether Kinesio Taping (a special tape applied to the skin) can help reduce menstrual pain in female soccer players aged 15-17 with primary dysmenorrhea (period cramps). 50 teens from a soccer project took part, and researchers compared the real tape to a placebo version. The goal was to see if the tape lowers pain intensity and improves how pain feels.
