“…44,45 Additionally, the last systematic reviews published concluded that there was no solid evidence for any benefit of KT in shoulder disorders and uncertain effects in terms of self-reported pain, function, pain on motion and active range of motion when compared to sham taping or other conservative treatments, therefore, the certainty of evidence was very low. 44,46,47 Conversely and in contrast with our findings, previous research has shown that taping in addition to physiotherapy interventions might be an optional modality for managing patients with SIS, especially in the initial stages of treatment. 19 Finally, another systematic review concluded that KT showed significant pain relief and improvement of disability in patients with shoulder pain when combined with exercise.…”

Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and is associated with substantial shoulder impairments that cause pain and dysfunction, accounting for 44-65% of all complaints of shoulder pain during a physician's office visit. [1][2][3] The SIS includes a spectrum of subacromial space pathologies, including partial thickness rotator cuff tears, rotator cuff tendinosis, calcific tendinitis, and subacromial

“…Although the pathophysiological mechanism is not fully understood, it is thought that KT also improves blood and lymphatic circulation and reduces pain and muscle tension [ 13 ]. However, there is conflicting research in the literature regarding the effect of KT on RCT [ 14 – 19 ]. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of KT on RCT in the short term.…”

Background Kinesiotaping (KT) is widely used in several musculoskeletal disorders particularly in shoulder pain. However, literature shows controversial results regarding the effect of KT on shoulder pathology. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effects of KT in the short term on rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT). Methods A randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial was conducted. The sample consisted of 50 subjects (25 per group). Patients were randomly assigned to the KT group (to receive therapeutic KT application) or to the placebo group (to receive sham KT application). Taping was applied every 4 days, a total of three times during the study period. We assessed the patients at baseline, at the end of taping period (D12), and at one-month post-taping (D30). Primary outcome was assessed through the Arabic version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH). Secondary outcomes were assessed through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain intensity at rest (VASr), during active movement (VASm), and at night (VASn). Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in the demographic and clinical characteristics and the pre-test scores. Results of repeated measures ANOVA showed significant improvement in DASH scores and in VAS for pain (at rest, during active movement and at night) from D12 in both groups. The use of ANCOVA, controlling for pre-test scores, showed no significant differences between groups, except for VASm at D30. Conclusion This study showed that the standardized therapeutic KT used for shoulder pain was not superior to a sham KT application in improving pain and disabilities in patients with RCT. Trial registration The study was retrospectively registered on Pan African Clinical Trial Registry (identification number: PACTR202007672254335) on 21/07/2020. https://pactr.samrc.ac.za/TrialDisplay.aspx?TrialID=12200
