Effectiveness of Neuromuscular Kinesiology Taping in Plantar Fasciitis
A study testing Kinesiotaping and Tape in people with Fasciitis, Plantar, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo.

About this study
One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo. However, most current studies have limitations because the sample is small, the effect size is small, and the evidence is insufficient or of low quality.
In the present work, the aim is to study the effectiveness of KT in PF, and to compare the results with those obtained in a placebo group, which is treated with tape. The researchers will assess the decrease in symptoms prior to performing other definitive treatments. In addition, the variability of the painful symptoms and the durability of the bandage will be studied, in order to determine whether it can be used in the short or long period of time, being able to take it into account and supposing a supplement to the pharmacological treatment.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| kinesiotaping | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: Kinesiotaping |
| Tape | Placebo comparator | Not described Receives: Other: Tape |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analogue Scale of Pain
A visual analogue scale of pain will assess from 0, no pain, to 10, the worst possible pain
Measured: Change from baseline (before intervention) to one day, two days, three days and four days after intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Bandage durability
Period of time in days from when the bandage is put on until it comes off
Measured: Change from baseline (the bandage is put on) until the first day that the loss of the bandage is documented, assessed up to 7 days
Timeline
From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo. However, most current studies have limitations because the sample is small, the effect size is small, and the evidence is insufficient or of low quality.
In the present work, the aim is to study the effectiveness of KT in PF, and to compare the results with those obtained in a placebo group, which is treated with tape. The researchers will assess the decrease in symptoms prior to performing other definitive treatments. In addition, the variability of the painful symptoms and the durability of the bandage will be studied, in order to determine whether it can be used in the short or long period of time, being able to take it into account and supposing a supplement to the pharmacological treatment.
