In mid-April 2007, the Taiwan Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation sponsored a survey of more than 600 people over the age of 25 about the use of massage patches. The survey concluded that each year these compresses are applied more than 438 million times to treat soreness caused by bad posture, computer use, strenuous labor, or housework.
2007 年 4 月中旬，台灣復健醫學會委託調查 600 多位 25 歲以上的民眾使用酸痛貼布的行為，估算出國內每年有超過 4 億 3,800 萬片貼布，貼在長時間打電腦、苦力工作、做家事，或姿勢不良所造成的酸痛族身上。
