First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two non-invasive treatments—kinesio taping and dry cupping—for people with thoracic kyphosis (an excessive rounding of the upper back). Researchers will measure changes in pain and the angle of the curve in 48 physically active adults aged 18 to 30. The goal is to see which therapy works better for easing discomfort and improving posture.
