The effect of kinesiology tape on pain reduction in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

This meta-analysis found a significant benefit in utilizing KT for PFPS. The high I² values of both subgroups suggest substantial variability, which likely contributed to the insignificant differences between subgroups. Overall, the data suggest that the utilization of KT may be effective in acutely reducing pain perception in patients with PFPS, but more high-quality research is required.
