Eighty patients with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) were randomized to receive a rehabilitation program alone (n=40) or rehabilitation plus Kinesiotaping (n=40). The primary outcome of interest was pain intensity (VAS). Secondary outcomes included the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and active range of motion (ROM) in flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and on days 3, 7, and 14. Overall, the results of the study revealed that the Kinesiotaping (KT) group experienced significantly greater reductions in VAS scores and SPADI scores, and significant improvements in flexion and external rotation ROM compared to controls. This suggests that adding KT to a rehabilitation program may offer more rapid short-term improvements in pain and shoulder function.
