Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of kinesio tape on neck pain in lactating women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Neck pain is widely prevalent and can be exacerbated by poor posture and prolonged or repetitive positions-both of which are common in lactating mothers. Research shows that a significant percentage of breastfeeding women experience musculoskeletal pain, often linked to specific postures such as the cross-cradle hold. Prolonged forward head posture (FHP) and muscle imbalances in the neck-shoulder region further contribute to mechanical neck pain by placing excessive strain on muscles, joints, and connective tissues.

Kinesio taping (KT) is a non-pharmacological technique aimed at alleviating pain and improving functional movement. By lifting the skin slightly, KT is proposed to enhance local blood and lymphatic flow, reduce nociceptive signals, and stimulate proprioceptive feedback. Multiple studies suggest KT can help correct posture, relieve muscle fatigue, and improve range of motion, thus offering a promising intervention for mechanical neck pain. These benefits are potentially valuable for lactating mothers, who are especially prone to postural stresses and neck discomfort due to the physical demands of breastfeeding.
