Research Objective and Participant Role You are invited to participate in this research because you are a final-year student at the Faculty of Dentistry, Lefke European University, and actively engaged in clinical practice. The main objective of this study is to scientifically examine the acute (short-term) effects of kinesiological taping applied to the shoulder area during clinical practice in dental students.
To this end, you will be asked to provide the following contributions:
Complete the scientific scales and questionnaires,
Agree to undergo kinesiological taping for a total of three sessions, applied every other day,
Complete the same scales again after the application.
This research aims to contribute to the development of low-cost and practical interventions to support the professional musculoskeletal health of dental students.
Research Process and Implementation Stages
If you confirm your participation, the process will consist of the following stages:
- Preliminary Assessment (Pre-Taping): First, you will complete a form containing your demographic information such as your age, height, weight, clinical study duration, exercise, and smoking habits. Then, four different scientific scales will be administered:
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS): To assess the severity of your predominant shoulder pain experienced during clinical practice.
- Arm-Shoulder-Hand Disorders Rapid Questionnaire (QuickDASH): To measure the functionality of your upper extremity (arm, shoulder, hand) in daily activities.
- World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF): To assess the physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions of your overall quality of life.
- Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale (Short Form): To determine your job satisfaction with your clinical practice.
- Kinesiological Taping Application (Intervention): Kinesiological taping will be applied to support your shoulder muscles (especially the deltoid and supraspinatus) that have been overloaded during clinical practice. The application was performed by a physical therapist (Serap AKYOL). The tapes are skin-friendly, water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and elastic. They do not restrict your normal joint movement and do not interfere with your daily activities (bathing, sleeping, etc.). The application will be done every other day for a total of 3 sessions (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Each session will last approximately 15-20 minutes. The tapes will be removed after the third session, or they may fall off on their own.
- Final Assessment (After Taping):
The day following the third taping session, the same four scientific scales (VAS, QuickDASH, WHOQOL-BREF, Minnesota) applied in stage 1 will be reapplied.
This will be done to measure the effects of kinesiological taping on pain, function, quality of life, and job satisfaction.
Total Participation Duration: The entire process (preliminary assessment, 3 application sessions, final assessment) will take approximately 1 week.
Your Rights and Privacy
- Voluntariness and Right to Withdraw: Your participation in this research is entirely voluntary. Even if you have signed this form, you can withdraw from the research at any time without giving any reason. Your withdrawal will not affect your academic status, grades, or relationship with the university in any way.
- Risks and Costs: Kinesiological taping is generally a safe, non-invasive (non-surgical) method. You will not incur any financial burden for your participation (it is free). No payment will be made for your participation. In the very rare cases of skin irritation, redness, or itching, please report it immediately to the researcher. In such a case, the tapes will be removed and necessary recommendations will be made.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kinesiology TapingOther
The kinesiology taping (KT) protocol applied within the scope of the study was carried out over three sessions, every other day, in accordance with the biomechanical requirements of the shoulder complex. This four-stage protocol applied to the participants lasted a total of three sessions for each participant. Throughout the application, participants were asked to continue their normal daily life activities, and final measurements were taken one day after the last session.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| dominant shoulder kinesiology taping | Experimental | This study investigates the acute effects of shoulder kinesiology taping (KB) in a clinical setting among final-year dental students experiencing musculoskeletal discomfort related to their professional activities.
Intervention:
Participants received kinesiology taping applied to the dominant shoulder region targeting the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles. The taping was designed to provide muscular facilitation, enhance joint stabilization, and modulate pain through biomechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms. The application followed standardized protocols based on rehabilitation principles for shoulder injuries, with specific techniques including:
Y-strip application for deltoid inhibition (to reduce overuse-related tension and pain modulation).
I-strip applications for supraspinatus facilitation and humeral head centralization.
Additional I-strip for acromioclavicular joint stabilization and fascial correction.
The taping was applied in three sessions, spaced one day apar Receives: Other: Kinesiology Taping |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analog Scale
It was used to measure pain in the dominant shoulder of participants. There is a 10 cm line between two extremes: "no pain" and "extreme pain," and participants are asked to mark the intensity of their pain on this line. 0 indicates no pain, while 10 indicates unbearable pain.
Measured: The study ended one week after registration. Since the application was administered three times every other day, each participant was recorded on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The total study duration was four weeks.
Disabilities of the Arm, Sholder and Hand (Quick-DASH)
It was used to assess participants' upper extremity functionality in detail. Participants completed the scale subjectively. The Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Quick Survey consists of 11 items that examine the patient's health status over the past week, the degree of difficulty experienced during physical activities involving the upper extremities, the severity of symptoms such as tingling and pain, and the impact of these symptoms on social activities, sleep, or work. Scoring is done on a scale from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability), with higher scores reflecting greater disability.
Measured: The study ended one week after registration. Since the application was administered three times every other day, each participant was recorded on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The total study duration was four weeks.
World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) scale
It was used to assess participants' quality of life in detail before and after kinesiology taping. Participants completed the scale subjectively. The scale consists of 24 items covering four main areas: physical health (7 items), psychological health (6 items), social relationships (3 items), and environmental health (8 items), plus two additional items assessing health satisfaction and overall quality of life. Items are scored using a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating higher quality of life. Scores range from 0-100.
Measured: The study ended one week after registration. Since the application was administered three times every other day, each participant was recorded on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The total study duration was four weeks.
Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale
It was used to assess job satisfaction before and after kinesiology taping was applied to participants. Participants filled out the scale subjectively. The scale consists of 20 items and is typically rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with a high score indicating good job satisfaction. Scores range from 0-100.
Measured: The study ended one week after registration. Since the application was administered three times every other day, each participant was recorded on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The total study duration was four weeks.
