ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping on intensity of pain from myofascial pain syndrome(MPS)or myofascial trigger points(MTrPs). Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about the Kinesio taping for pain from MPS or MTrPs were retrieved from PubMed,EBSCO,Science Direct,Web of Science,Physiotherapy Evidence Database,Cochrane Library un-til October,2017.The assessment tools of the bias of risk and Revman 5.3 of the Cochrane Collaboration were used for the methodological quality assessment and meta-analysis,respectively.The heterogeneity and the poten-tial publication bias were analyzed with Stata 12.0. Results Twelve RCTs were included,involving 584 patients.Kinesio taping group was superior to the control group in relieving pain both after intervention (MD=-1.14, 95% CI-1.88 to-0.40, P=0.002) and in follow-up (MD=-0.69,95%CI-1.16 to-0.22,P=0.004).The time of intervention and follow-up were the main causes to heterogeneity in follow-up. Conclusion Kinesio taping is effective on pain of MPS or MTrPs.The longer the intervention and follow-up,the better the effect.
