El kinesiotape (KT), al provocar pliegues cutáneos, podría tener efectos sobre el sistema circulatorio. Esto permitiría aplicarlo en patologías que cursen con edema, como la insuficiencia venosa crónica (IVC). Sin embargo, no existe evidencia científica suficiente. Por este motivo, el objetivo de este estudio consistió en determinar el efecto de las distintas aplicaciones de KT sobre la circulación venosa en pacientes con IVC. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica siguiendo las directrices de la declaración PRISMA en los meses de febrero y marzo de 2023 en 10 bases de datos. La búsqueda arrojó 113 estudios, de los cuales se incluyeron 4 artículos para su posterior análisis. La principal variable estudiada fue el dolor, presente en todos los estudios. El principal efecto observado sobre el KT en la IVC fue la disminución del dolor. Actualmente, la evidencia general del efecto del KT en la IVC es contradictoria y no se puede prescribir su utilización aislada en la IVC. Los ensayos clínicos publicados sobre esta temática son limitados.
Kinesiotape (KT), by provoking skin folds, could have effects on the circulatory system. This would allow its application in pathologies with edema, such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). However, there is insufficient scientific evidence. For this reason, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different applications of KT on venous circulation in patients with CVI. To this end, a literature search was carried out following the guidelines of the PRISMA statement in February and March 2023 in 10 databases. The search yielded 113 studies, of which 4 articles were included for subsequent analysis. The main variable studied was pain, which was present in all studies. The main effect observed on KT in CVI was a decrease in pain. Currently, the overall evidence of the effect of KT in CVI is contradictory and the isolated use of KT in CVI cannot be prescribed. Published clinical trials on this topic are limited.
