In clinical practice, interventions such as dry needling (DN) and kinesiology taping (KT) are often used alongside exercise programs, although their short-term effectiveness remains unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To compare the effectiveness of DN, KT, their combination and physical therapy modalities (PTM) when applied alongside exercise therapy in patients with SAPS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty adults with SAPS were included in this four-arm randomized controlled trial. Group 1 received KT plus exercise, Group 2 received DN plus exercise, Group 3 received combined DN and KT plus exercise, and Group 4 received PTM plus exercise. Interventions were applied over 3 weeks. Pain intensity and functional disability were assessed at baseline, week 1 and week 3, and kinesiophobia at baseline and week 3. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significant within-group improvements in pain, functional disability and kinesiophobia were observed in all groups (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). At week 3, reductions in pain were greater in the combined DN and KT group than in the PTM group, while kinesiophobia showed a similar pattern, although improvement in the KT group was comparable to that of the combined group; functional disability improved similarly across groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All evaluated interventions were associated with improvement when used as adjuncts to exercise-based rehabilitation.
