The Therapeutic Role of Kinesio Taping in Primary Dysmenorrhea

The original Kinesio Tape (Kinesio Tex Classic Tape) was used for taping by a physiotherapist with 15 years of experience in the field. The tape was cut into an I-shape and applied to the lower abdominal and lumbo-sacral regions where the participants experienced pain, 10 days prior to the anticipated start of menstruation (Figure 2). The tapes were renewed after four days. This procedure was performed three times and the total taping period was completed as 12 days. The tapes were removed on the third day of menstruation and all outcome measurements were performed again for the post intervention measurements
