Summary

This study tested if elastic therapeutic taping can reduce pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. 195 patients were randomly assigned to receive real tape, fake tape, or another supportive treatment. Neither patients nor researchers knew who got which treatment. The goal was to see if this safe, non-invasive method could improve pain, movement, sleep, and recovery without drugs.
