Effects of different kinesiology taping applications on Pain, muscular Fitness, Proprioception, Mobility, Functionality, and disability in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
Trial report in Irish journal of medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06777095 (Effects of Different Kinesio Taping Treatments Added to the Physical Therapy Program on Pain, Endurance, Lumbar Proprioception, Mobility and Disability in Patients Diagnosed With Lumbar Disc Herniation), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the effects of different kinesiology taping techniques added to a standard treatment regimen.
methodsNinety patients with disc herniation were grouped into three groups: physical therapy + star taping (Group 1), physical therapy + I-taping (Group 2), and physical therapy alone (Group 3). Pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), back extensor muscle strength and endurance, proprioception, lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), lumbar range of motion, functional level, and disability level were assessed. All measurements were recorded before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at the 12-week follow-up.
resultsIn Group 3, an improvement was observed in pain intensity, disability, functionality, joint range of motion, and proprioception at 60° and extension. In addition to improvements observed in Group3, Groups1 and 2 showed significant improvements in PPT, extensor muscle strength, LLA, and 45° proprioception (p < 0.05). Group1 exhibited an increase in LLA compared to baseline (p < 0.05). Compared to Group3, disability decreased in Group1, while extensor muscle strength increased in Group2. At the 12-week follow-up, LLA increased in Group1 but decreased in Group2 compared to post-treatment measurements (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe addition of kinesiology taping to standard physical therapy has been shown to provide additional benefits for pressure pain threshold, extensor muscle strength, 45-degree proprioception, and lumbar lordosis angle in patients with LDH. Selecting specific taping techniques based on clinical goals may increase the effectiveness of treatment programs. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06777095 (retrospectively registered).
