Read the detailed description
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a short treatment period with Balance Body Tape on the intensity of perceived neck, shoulder and back pain and neck posture.
Method 26 subjects who reported being university students or having a sedentary work and experiencing pain in neck, back or shoulders were randomized into intervention- (n=12) and control group (n=14).
The intervention group received a three-week treatment with BBT, the control group received no treatment. A questionnaire regarding pain, including a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) measuring pain intensity, and a Photographic posture analysis measurement (PPAM) of habitual sitting posture were accomplished before and after the intervention for both groups. Wilcoxon´s signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess intra- and between group differences respectively. The relationship between pain intensity and CV-angle was assessed using Spearman's rank-order correlation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Balance Body TapeOther
The intervention group received a three-week treatment with Balance Body Tape (BBT) (product by Babota AB), the control group received no treatment. A questionnaire regarding pain, including a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) measuring pain intensity, and a Photographic posture analysis measurement (PPAM) of habitual sitting posture were accomplished before and after the intervention for both groups.

| Balance Body Tape | Experimental | Three-week treatment with Balance Body Tape (BBT). Receives: Other: Balance Body Tape |
| Control group | No intervention | Control group receiving no intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity
Pain intensity measured by numeric rating scale (NRS) rating from 0-10, where 0=no pain and 10= worst pain
Measured: Three week
Craniovertebral angle
Neck posture measured by the craniovertebral (CV) angle in sagittal plane.
Measured: 6 minutes
