About this study
Official title: The Effect of Kinesio Tape on Pain Management in Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Kinesio tapes have been used in medicine to reduce pain in various situations. It is an easy applicable and effective tape. The possible affect of this tape will be assessed in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgeries.
Read the detailed description
Kinesio tape is frequently used for pain palliation in medicine including orthopedics, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and dentistry. Recent studies show that it alleviates the amount of postoperative perceived pain in obstetrics and general surgery. In our study, we plan to contribute to the medical literature by studying its effect on pain palliation in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
- Conditions
- Gynecological Laparoscopy
- Being tested
- Pain management after surgery
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Pain management after surgeryDevice
Kinesio tapes will be applied to the patients in the study group after gynecological laparoscopic operations. The routine pain management will also be provided in these patients in addition to the kinesio tapes. Only postoperative pain management will be provided to the patients in the control group. The patients will be consisted of only the patients who will be operated laparoscopically for gynecological diseases.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Study group | Experimental | Kinesio tape will be applied postoperatively to the patients in this group Receives: Device: Pain management after surgery |
| Control group | No intervention | These patients will only get routine postoperative management. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Amount of perceived pain
The amount of postoperative pain will be measured by using visual analogue scales (score ranges from 0 to 100 mm, higher scores indicate more pain)
Measured: 36 hours from the operation
