NCT ID NCT06648811
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether applying kinesio tape after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery can reduce pain. Fifty-four women participated, with some receiving the tape plus standard pain care and others receiving only standard care. Pain levels were measured using a visual scale. The goal is to see if this easy-to-use tape offers extra pain relief.
