An interventional study of Kinesiotaping and Rigid taping in Pain, sponsored by Ufuk University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-02.
Sponsored by Ufuk University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Objective: To evaluate the effects of rigid-taping and kinesiotaping (lymphatic correction) on pain, joint mobility and disability in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD).
Methods: A total of 84 patients with unilateral SJID were included in this randomized controlled study. Patients were divided into kinesiotaping (KT) (n=28), rigid-taping (RT) (n=28) and control (n=28) groups. Pain levels at rest and during movement with visual analog scale (VAS) (0-10 cm), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), mobility and pain provocation tests were recorded on days 1 and 15.
10,054 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 1,649 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 84 is above the median of 66 across 8,493 interventional studies indexed under Pain.

The lymphatic correction technique described by Kase for use in sacroiliac sprains or inflammations was used in KT of the dysfunctional sacroiliac joint. While the patient is standing with the spine in a neutral position, the base part of the fan-shaped cut Kinesio tape will be attached approximately 2-3 inches (approximately 5-8 cm) above the dysfunctional sacroiliac joint. Then, the patient is asked to lean forward and rotate in the opposite direction to the dysfunctional side. The tail parts of the fan-shaped tape are passed downward and inward at a 45-degree angle over the sacroiliac joint and attached to the superior edge of the gluteus maximus. The base of another kinesio tape was attached approximately 2-3 inches (approximately 5-8 cm) below the dysfunctional sacroiliac joint, the tails of the fan-shaped tape were passed upward and inward at a 45-degree angle over the sacroiliac joint and attached approximately to the upper edge of the PSIS.
The technique specified in the study by Allah et al. was taken as a reference for RT of the dysfunctional sacroiliac joint. Patients were placed in a lateral position on their healthy side, with the affected side uppermost, hip flexed to 45 degrees, and the femur in a neutral position. The rigid tape was attached to the anterior superior iliac spine of the upper hip and pulled tight, and attached linearly to the posterior superior iliac spine. Another piece was attached between the same points, but in a curved shape with the opening facing downward.
Patients in all 3 groups were shown an exercise program by a physiotherapist that included lumbopelvic stabilization, flexibility and strengthening exercises for the low back and hip, and were asked to apply the exercise program for 15 days by providing visual material showing the exercises.

Ran from Nov 2021 to primary completion in Nov 2024, 36 months.
Of 3,731 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23. This study's 36 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,830 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23.
