Kinesiotaping vs. NSAIDs plus physical therapy in treatment of pes anserine bursitis
Phys Sportsmed. 2016 Sep;44(3):252-656 patients with pes anserinus tendino-bursitis were randomized to two treatment groups: one group received 3 weeks of kinesiotaping, while the other received 10 days of naproxen 250mg three times daily plus daily physical therapy sessions. The purpose of this study was to compare pain, swelling, and adverse events from pre- to post-treatment. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in pain and swelling in both groups, though reductions were significantly greater in the KT group compared to the NSAID plus PT group. Adverse events were few and mild in both groups.
