Sticky tape therapy tested for back pain relief

This study tested whether adding kinesiology tape to standard home exercises helps people with ankylosing spondylitis more than exercises alone. Researchers enrolled 63 adults with this chronic back condition and split them into two groups. One group did home exercises, while the other did the same exercises plus had special elastic tape applied to their back and spine. The goal was to see if the tape could further reduce pain and improve posture, balance, and breathing.
