What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Experimental GroupOther
The application methods of kinesiology tape for the experimental group are as follows:
- Promoting supraspinatus muscle: Use an I-shaped tape (with natural tension).
- Promoting the anterior fibers of the deltoid muscle: Use an I-shaped tape (with natural tension).
- Promoting the posterior fibers of the deltoid muscle: Use an I-shaped tape (with natural tension).3. Promoting the posterior fibers of the deltoid muscle: Use an I-shaped tape (with natural tension).
- Fixing the shoulder joint: Use an I-shaped tape (with moderate tension).
- Inhibiting biceps brachii muscle / promoting triceps brachii muscle (depending on the patient's recovery stage and different functional impairments, different taping methods are used).
- Promoting wrist extensor muscles / inhibiting wrist flexor muscles (depending on the patient's recovery stage and different functional impairments, different taping methods are used)
Control group (placebo)Other
The control group was pasted with sports white tape (the pasting method was the same as above, replaced with sports white tape).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| control group | Placebo comparator | The control group was pasted with sports white tape. Receives: Other: Control group (placebo) |
| experimental group | Experimental | The experimental group received intramuscular patch therapy. Receives: Other: Experimental Group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To observe the inducing and promoting effect of kinesio taping technique on the recovery of upper limb function in early-stage stroke patients.
Fugl-Meyer Functional Score (FMA) is evaluated, and the higher the score, the stronger the motor function.
Measured: Within 3 days of hospitalization, on the 1 day of discharge, one month after discharge
Secondary outcomes (1)
To compare the different effects of kinesio tape and sports white tape on the induction and promotion of limb function in patients.
Fugl-Meyer Functional Score (FMA) is evaluated, and the higher the score, the stronger the motor function.
Measured: Within 3 days of hospitalization, on the 1 day of discharge, one month after discharge

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Experimental Group in people with Cerebral Infarction Recovery and Rehabilitation Treatment, run by The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?
To observe the inducing and promoting effect of kinesio taping technique on the recovery of upper limb function in early-stage stroke patients. (time frame: Within 3 days of hospitalization, on the 1 day of discharge, one month after discharge). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Mar 2025.
