An interventional study of Kinesio® Tape in Neck Pain, sponsored by North Dakota State University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-27.
Sponsored by North Dakota State University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is a within-subjects design; therefore, the participant will serve as their own control. Participants will be included in the study if they have neck pain or disability defined by a score of more than 14 on the Neck Disability Index. They will be excluded if they have any diagnosed disc pathology. A mask-associated pain questionnaire will be completed by the participants prior to the study to determine their perceived effect of mask-wearing on neck pain. This questionnaire is adapted from the HAPPE study on mask-associated headache pain. A baseline pain rating will be recorded a numerical pain scale. Next, active cervical range of motion will be measured, three times in each direction to be averaged. A pain rating will be recorded for pain during cervical motion. Kinesio® Tape will be applied to activate the cervical extensor muscles. The participant will sit with the tape on for 20 minutes, then active cervical range of motion and pain will be recored again.
1,233 studies on the registry are indexed under Neck Pain; 256 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 51 across 1,005 interventional studies indexed under Neck Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
Kinesio tape will be applied to the neck to help facilitate underactive muscles and ROM will be assessed
Device: Kinesio® Tape
ROM will be assessed before tape application to determine any changes
In order to increase the activity of underactive muscles, the tape is applied from origin to insertion with a 15-25% tension. The Kinesio® Tape mechanical muscle correction will be performed with one Y-strip of Kinesio® Tape over the bilateral cervical multifidus and semispinalis cervicis muscles, while also including portions of other cervical extensor muscles (the semispinalis capitis, splenius cervicis, levator scapulae, upper trapezius, longus coli, and splenius capitis).
