Abstract

Purpose: This study was designed to inspect the effects of kinesiotape (KT) on pain intensity
and range of motion at upper trapezius myofascial trigger points.
Methods: pre and post randomized clinical designed on forty subjects with active trigger points.
They divided randomly into two equal groups. Group "A" received KT for 72 hours while group < br />"B" (control group) didn't receive any treatment but follow instructions. Pain intensity and range
of motion were measured before and after completion of treatment.
Results: Statistical analysis (t-test) shown that there was a significant difference at pain intensity
and range of motion at group "A" as (p < 0.05) but there was no significant difference at pain
intensity and range of motion at group "B" as (p˃ 0.05).
Conclusion: KT is an effective method in treatment of subjects with active trigger points at
upper trapezius myofascial trigger points.
