Participants will be randomly assigned to either the Kinesio taping + standard care group or the standard care-only group. Method of randomization: Simple randomization Unit of randomization: Individual participants. Stratification: Participants will be stratified based on age ranging (40-80 years) and pain severity level ( moderate and severe). Tools used: software (e.g., SPSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) post-application, and NRS for pain. Random sequence generation: Random Allocation process. 3 Knee osteoarthritis. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Participants will receive Kinesio Taping (K Tape) applied to the knee joint. The tape will be worn continuously for 24 hours. Pain and functional improvements will be assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post-application using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and WOMAC index.". Intervention 2: Control group: Participants will receive standard care (without Kinesio Taping). Pain and functional improvements will be assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post-application using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and WOMAC index. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: This dataset includes deidentified individual patient data (IPD) from a randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of Kinesio taping on pain management in knee osteoarthritis. The data consists of: Patient demographics (age, gender) Grade of knee OA Baseline assessment (WOMAC and NRS scores) Follow-up results at 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post-application periods On excel sheet When: The dataset will be made available upon request after the study’s completion and publication of findings. To whom: The deidentified data will be available to researchers, clinicians, and academic institutions conducting studies related to knee osteoarthritis, pain management, or rehabilitation interventions. Access will be granted upon formal request and approval. Conditions: Under Which Criteria the Data/Document Could Be Used: The data will be shared only for academic and research purposes. Researchers must submit a formal request with ethical approval for data usage. The dataset must not be used for commercial purposes or patient re-identification. Proper citation of the original study is required in any resulting publication. Where to obtain: The dataset is available from [Combined Military Hospital ].

Control group: Participants will receive standard care (without Kinesio Taping). Pain and functional improvements will be assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post-application using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and WOMAC index. Pain reduction by application of kinesio taping on knee joint. Timepoint: Baseline ( Pre-intervention), 24 hours, 3 days and 1 week post application of kinesio taping. Method of measurement: "Pain reduction will be assessed using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Participants will report their pain levels at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post-application of Kinesio tape.". Improvement in functional ability of the knee in individuals with osteoarthritis. Timepoint: Baseline( pre-intervention), 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post application of kinesio taping. Method of measurement: "Functional improvement will be assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The WOMAC score evaluates pain, stiffness, and physical function, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 1 week post-application."(Provides a more detailed explanation of the WOMAC index and how it will be used.).
