NCT ID NCT05858073

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

Summary

This study looked at whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) can immediately reduce pain, improve body awareness, and fix posture in people with rounded shoulders and shoulder impingement. 114 adults with neck pain took part. Researchers measured pain, posture, and joint position sense right after applying the tape. The goal was to see if this simple, non-invasive treatment offers quick relief.
