Different Taping Methods in Myofascial Pain Syndrome

A single I strip will be used for this technique. Taping will be done by applying moderate (25-35%) degree of stretching to the middle 1/3 of the tape, with the stretched area centered on the trigger point. The ends of the tape will be adhered without stretching.

Y tape will be applied to prevent fascia adhesions. In the Y tape application, first the tail strips of the Y will be adhered with maximum tension so that the muscle fiber is transverse. Then it will be glued so that its base is in front of the pain point. No tension will be applied to the ends of the tape. The application will be applied when the patient is in a resting position and his joints are in a tense position.

4 I tapes of the same length between 15 cm and 20 cm will be glued on top of each other. After the first I tape is adhered, the 2nd I tape will be adhered at 90 degrees, then the 3rd and 4th I tapes will be adhered at 45 degrees to obtain a star appearance. There will be no tension at the ends of the tapes

I shape tape will be adhered for sham purpose without applying any tension.
