Background: In many societies Non-specific Neck pain (NSNP) is a sensitive period of life where dysfunction in the activities of daily living is prevalent. It is considered a costly public health issue both in short and long terms.

Objective: The aim is to find short- and long-term effects of Kinesio taping on pain along with functional status in NSNP.

Methodology: This was a randomized controlled trail with a sample size of 26 participants. The control and experimental groups received hot pack, TENS, stretching exercises and home plan of selfstretching, active range of motion and neck isometrics. Kinesio tape (KT) was applied in experimental group on upper trapezius from insertion to origin with 25 to 50 % stretch. Outcome measure was taken through Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) at base line, 3rd visit and 6th visit.

Results: The mean age of participants was 42.5±12.0 with 9 males and 17 females. Baseline measures for both groups showed no significant difference as the P value > 0.05. The paired t-test within the control and experimental groups showed significant difference at baseline and 3 rd visit as well as in baseline and 6th visit in NPRS and NDI. Independent t-test for NPRS and NDI at baseline and 6th visit between treatment groups was also significant i.e., P< 0.05. Conclusion: It is concluded that patients with NSNP exhibits statistically significant improvements in NPRS and NDI through KT application for short (3rd visit) and long term (6th visit).
