THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF KINESIO TAPING IN RELIEVING CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME SYMPTOMS

Аннотация

This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of Kinesio taping in alleviating symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Employing a randomized controlled trial, participants were assigned to a Kinesio taping group or a control group receiving standard care. Symptom severity, functional status, and wrist mobility were assessed over four weeks. Results demonstrate that Kinesio taping significantly reduced pain, improved functional outcomes, and enhanced wrist range of motion compared to the control group. These findings suggest that Kinesio taping offers a non-invasive, cost-effective adjunct therapy for managing CTS symptoms. The study highlights the potential of Kinesio taping to complement traditional treatments, providing a viable option for patients seeking symptom relief and improved quality of life.
