First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding kinesio taping to routine physical therapy (like TENS, ice, splints, and exercises) can improve pain, range of motion, and daily function in people with wrist joint hypermobility. Thirty-eight adults aged 18 to 40 with chronic wrist pain and limited extension will be split into two groups: one gets therapy alone, the other gets therapy plus taping, three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers will measure pain, disability, and motion before and after treatment.

What this could lead to

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and the added benefit of taping over therapy alone might be small or absent.
