Effect of Kinesio Taping Combined With Postural Correction on Improving Tension-Type Headache Among University Students

Deraya University·interventional·Posted Feb 17, 2026·Updated Feb 17, 2026

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Postural Correction and SMI Program and Kinesio Taping Combined with Postural Correction and SMI for Headache Disorders and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Kinesio Taping (KT) with postural correction exercises and suboccipital muscle inhibition (SMI) in managing tension-type headaches (TTH) among university students. The intervention's impact on headache intensity, frequency, and functional limitations will be compared with a control group performing postural correction and SMI alone.
