Background: Carpal Tunel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve compression. Some cases of CTS have symptoms. The most common complaint felt by patients is "Nocturnal Acroparesthesia", which is tingling pain at night. Physiotherapy measures can be taken to relieve CTS complaints, one of which is the use of Kinesiotaping. This study aims to analyze the effect of Kinesiotaping on pain reduction in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome by summarizing several previous studies with RevMan 5.3. Subject and Method: This article is a systematic and meta-analytical study. The study used the PICO model as follows. Population = Patients with Carpal Tunel Syndrome, Intervention = Kinesiotaping therapy, Comparison = No Kinesiotaping therapy, and Outcome = Carpal Tunel Pain reduction. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Semantics, and Google Scholar. Articles are collected in a month. The keywords to search for the article were as follows: kinesiotaping OR "kinesio tape" OR pain OR "carpal tunnel syndrome" AND "Randomized controlled trial". The articles included in this study. Results: There are 8 articles included in the meta-analysis research.
