NCT ID NCT06990815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether kinesio taping (a special elastic tape placed on the skin) can quickly ease period pain and related symptoms like trouble sleeping and fear of moving. Researchers compared real taping to a fake (sham) taping in 24 women aged 18-24 with primary dysmenorrhea. The goal was to see if the tape helps reduce pain, improve sleep, and lessen fear of movement during menstruation.
