NCT ID NCT07333963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether applying elastic therapeutic tape (kinesiotaping) to the face and neck after impacted wisdom tooth removal can reduce pain, swelling, and improve mouth opening. 70 generally healthy participants were randomly assigned to receive either standard post-surgery care or standard care plus kinesiotaping. The goal was to see if the tape could support healing and reduce the need for pain medication.
