Comparison of the effects of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with or without kinesio taping on the radial nerve in lateral epicondylitis: A randomized-single blind study

The efficacy of kinesio tape in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective randomized controlled trials

“…Two researchers then examined the full texts of the 26 chosen studies. Included in this review were 11 RCTs [ 17 , 19 , 21 , 22 , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] ] and the reporting bias was deemed to be low for all of them ( Fig. 1 ).…”

“…The PRTEE was reported in 4 studies [ 22 , 26 , 31 , 32 ], with 98 patients treated with KT and 91 with a control. None of the study reported clinically significant difference.…”

“…However, with only 5 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) included, the reliability of the conclusion is impaired. What is more, several new high quality studies have been published since its publication and a new meta-analysis may be able to provide a more reliable conclusion with these studies included [ 19 , 21 , 22 ].…”

Short‐term effectiveness of kinesio taping as therapeutic tool in conservative treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…(2013) also observed improvements in pain, hand strength, and functionality of the patient when performing activities of daily living after the application of kinesio taping (Anandkumar, 2013). Moreover, Mansiz‐Kaplan et al., in 2021 obtained improvements in pain, functionality, common extensor tendon thickness, and nerve cross‐sectional area after the application of kinesio taping plus pharmacological treatment in cases of lateral epicondylitis with radial nerve involvement (Mansiz‐Kaplan et al., 2021). Kuciel‐Lewandowska et al., 2008 also found beneficial effects in a case of a direct traumatic injury to the peroneal nerve, with improvements in foot movement and stabilization, as well as decreased edema and paraesthesia, thus improving the patient's quality of life (Kuciel‐Lewandowska et al., 2008).…”

“…Studies assessing the use of kinesio taping in musculoskeletal pathologies with affection of the neural component have shown positive effects on the symptomatology associated with various conditions such as radial nerve entrapment (Mansiz‐Kaplan et al., 2021), diabetic neuropathy (Ibrahim et al., 2020), and meralgia paraesthetica (Kalichman et al., 2010). Numerous clinical studies on the potential benefits of kinesio taping for improving symptoms of median nerve conditions are available.…”
