Background: One of the most common knee problems is patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) which has a higher rate among females especially athletes than males. It is believed that the main problems of PFPS are pain and impaired knee function. Purpose: To compare the effect of Mulligan (MT) and Mcconnell (MCT) taping on pain intensity and functional level in patients with PFPS. Methods: Forty-five patients (male and female) with PFPS participated in the study. Their age ranged from 18 to 35 years. They were assigned randomly into three equal groups. The first group (A) included 15 patients with a mean age of (24.06 ± 1.7 years) and mean BMI (22.66 ± 3.51 kg/m2) were treated with MT and exercises for six weeks. The second group (B) included 15 patients with a mean age of (24.46 ± 2.23 years) and means BMI (22.72 ± 2.3 kg/m2) were treated with MCT and exercises for six weeks. The third group (C) was the control included 15 patients with a mean age of (23.86 ± 1.84 years) and mean BMI (22.93 ± 3.23 kg/m2) were treated with exercises onlyfor six weeks. Pain intensity was measuredby numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). Anterior knee pain scale (AKPS) was analyzed to assess the functional level. Measurements were done before the intervention, after 3 weeks (post I) and after 6 weeks (post II) in all groups. Results: Findings revealed a significant decrease in NPRS and a significant increase on AKPS over time in all groups (P = 0.0001). Among groups, the results showed there was a significant decrease of pain and improvement of function in group (B) compared to groups (A) (C) at (post I) and (post II). Conclusion: Both Mulligan and Mcconnell taping techniques can improve pain and function in PFPS papatients with a preference of MCT
