First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether applying kinesiotape to the surgical area after soft tissue surgery can reduce pain, improve sleep, and help patients move better. 120 adults were split into three groups: one got real kinesiotape, one got a placebo tape, and one got no tape. Pain, sleep, and mobility were measured over 24 hours after surgery.
