“…A total of 11 studies 9,[17][18][19][20][21][22]24,29,30,32 involving 566 patients and 3 studies 9,18,22 involving 193 patients investigated the post-intervention and follow-up effects of kinesio taping on myofascial pain syndrome in terms of range of motion compared with other treatments, respectively. Significant effects were observed in the meta-analysis of studies assessing range of motion in favour of kinesio taping at post-intervention (SMD = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.43, P = 0.003; I 2 = 44%, P = 0.005; Figure 4) on the basis of the fixed-effects model.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesio taping for managing myofascial pain syndrome in terms of pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, muscle strength and disability. Data sources: PubMed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Physiotherapy Evidence Databases were searched from database inception to November 2018. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used kinesio taping as the main treatment protocol for participants diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome were included. Two reviewers independently screened articles, scored methodological quality using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and extracted data. The primary outcomes were pain intensity, pressure pain threshold and range of motion at post-intervention and follow-up. The secondary outcomes were muscle strength and disability at post-intervention and follow-up. Data synthesis: Meta-analyses of 20 RCTs involving 959 patients showed that kinesio taping was more effective than other treatments in reducing pain intensity (mean difference (MD) = 1.06 cm, 95% confidence interval (CI): −1.66 to −0.46 cm, P = 0.006) and increasing range of motion (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.43, P = 0.003) at post-intervention. Kinesio taping was also superior to other non-invasive techniques in relieving pain intensity at follow-up (MD = −0.68 cm, 95% CI: −1.22 to −0.13 cm, P = 0.02). However, there was no detectable effect on disability or function. Conclusion: Statistical evidence showed that kinesio taping could be recommended to relieve pain intensity and range of motion for patients with myofascial pain syndrome at post-intervention.

“…A total of 740 subjects were included, 515 of which were females with an overall average age of 37.49 years old. Concerning the pathologies presented by the subjects: six trials (43%) performed the intervention in subjects with neck pain [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 ], headache was prevalent in three trials (21.4%) [ 61 , 77 , 78 ], two trials (14.3%) included subjects suffering from low back pain [ 79 , 80 ], and chronic fatigue syndrome (7.1%) [ 81 ], lateral epicondylitis (7.1%) [ 82 ], and knee osteoarthritis (7.1%) [ 83 ] were studied in one trial, respectively.…”

“…The soft tissue interventions applied by the trials were divided in two main techniques: massage therapy (50%) [ 72 , 74 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ] and pressure release techniques on active myofascial trigger points (50%) [ 61 , 71 , 73 , 75 , 76 , 82 , 83 ]. The most common design performed only one session of intervention (50%) [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 83 ], but there were also studies which performed different number of sessions for two (14.3%) [ 79 , 82 ], three (21.4%) [ 77 , 80 , 82 ], four (14.3%) [ 61 , 78 ] and five weeks (7.1%) [ 81 ]. Inside the pressure release treatments, the most used technique was suboccipital inhibition applied in subjects suffering from neck pain and tension-type headache, however, it was performed from three min to 10 min depending on the trial.…”

Purpose: Background: Evaluate whether the design of placebo control groups could produce different interpretations of the efficacy of manual therapy techniques. Methods: Nine databases were searched (EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS, WEB of SCIENCE, COCHRANE, and PEDro). Randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials that used manual therapy as a sham treatment on subjects suffering from pain were included. Data were summarized qualitatively, and meta-analyses were conducted with R. Results: 53 articles were included in the qualitative analysis and 48 were included in the quantitative analyses. Manipulation techniques did not show higher effectiveness when compared with all types of sham groups that were analyzed (SMD 0.28; 95%CI [−0.24; 0.80]) (SMD 0.28; 95%CI [−0.08; 0.64]) (SMD 0.42; 95%CI [0.16; 0.67]) (SMD 0.82; 95%CI [−0.57; 2.21]), raising doubts on their therapeutic effect. Factors such as expectations of treatment were not consistently evaluated, and analysis could help clarify the effect of different sham groups. As for soft tissue techniques, the results are stronger in favor of these techniques when compared to sham control groups (SMD 0.40; 95%CI [0.19, 0.61]). Regarding mobilization techniques and neural gliding techniques, not enough studies were found for conclusions to be made. Conclusions: The literature presents a lack of a unified placebo control group design for each technique and an absence of assessment of expectations. These two issues might account for the unclear results obtained in the analysis.
