Effect of Kinesio Taping Combined With Postural Correction on Improving Tension-Type Headache Among University Students
Sponsor: Deraya University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Kinesio Taping (KT) with postural correction exercises and suboccipital muscle inhibition (SMI) in managing tension-type headaches (TTH) among university students. The intervention's impact on headache intensity, frequency, and functional limitations will be compared with a control group performing postural correction and SMI alone.
