About this study

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.

Inclusion criteria

  • being older than 18 years old female gender benign gynecologic conditions patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery patients who do not have any predisposing factors that aggreviate pain no history of malignancy no prior abdominal surgery patients who do not regularly take antiinflammatory medication patients who give permission to participate

Exclusion criteria

  • being younger than 18 years old non-female gender having malignancies patients who underwent laparatomy patients with predisposing factors that aggrevate pain having prior abdominal surgery patients taking regular antiinflammatory medications who do not want to participate

Treatment and study plan

Pain management after surgery

Device

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Amount of perceived pain

    Time frame: 36 hours from the operation

    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)
