Taping can be used to reduce pain in knee osteoarthritis. There are different methods of taping, but the common effect is to exert a medially directed force on the patella to increase the patellofemoral contact area, thereby decreasing joint stress and reducing pain. Taping can be performed by a physiotherapist, but self taping can be taught, which enhances self management. Taping for knee osteoarthritis has National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Level I evidence of efficacy for pain relief and is associated with negligible adverse effects that generally include minor skin irritation.
贴扎可用于减轻膝关节骨关节炎的疼痛。贴扎方法有多种，但共同作用是对髌骨施加一个向内的力，以增加髌股关节接触面积，从而减轻关节压力并缓解疼痛。贴扎可由物理治疗师进行，但也可教授患者自我贴扎，这有助于自我管理。针对膝关节骨关节炎的贴扎有澳大利亚国家卫生与医学研究委员会（NHMRC）一级证据表明其对缓解疼痛有效，且不良反应可忽略不计，一般包括轻微的皮肤刺激。
