About

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.

Full 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.
