Summary
This study tested if elastic therapeutic taping can reduce pain after heart surgery (CABG) through the breastbone. 195 patients were split into three groups: real tape, fake tape, or other support. Neither patients nor researchers knew who got what. The goal was to see if this safe, non-invasive method could lower pain, improve breathing, sleep, and movement, offering a drug-free recovery option.
