Abstract
Purpose: To our knowledge, no study has demonstrated the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT) tension on pressure-pain threshold and tolerance. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of KT tension tensions on pressure pain threshold and tolerance. Methods: A double-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted with 90 healthy male subjects with an average age of 21.04 ± 2.0 years. The subjects were randomized into four groups: 0% tension placebo (n=23), 50% tension (n= 24), 75% tension (n=22) and 100% tension groups (n=21). The KT was applied from distal to proximal, exposing the lateral epicondyle region on the dominant side. Pressure pain threshold and pain tolerance were measured using digital algometer over the lateral epicondyle. Measurements were carried out, before, immediate after and 30 minutes after KT. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of PP threshold, pain tolerance and intensity (p>0.05). There was a significant in-group difference only in the 100% Tension Group in terms of PP threshold (p
