Short-term effects of cervical kinesio taping on pain and cervical range of motion in patients with acute whiplash injury: a randomized clinical trial
J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2009 Jul;39(7):515-21.41 patients suffering from acute whiplash associated disorders (WAD) were randomized to receive treatment using either kinesio taping or sham taping.
