EFFECT OF KINESIO TAPING ON POST-C-SECTION PAIN AND COMFORT
A study testing kinesio taping and Routine clinical care in people with C-Section, run by Şırnak Üniversitesi.
Trial summary
Kinesio taping gently stretches the skin and creates a gap between the dermis and fascia, increasing lymphatic and vascular flow and reducing pain without restricting movement. It is used to provide rehabilitation after surgical operations. Read more about this study

About this study
Kinesio taping gently stretches the skin and creates a gap between the dermis and fascia, increasing lymphatic and vascular flow and reducing pain without restricting movement. It is used to provide rehabilitation after surgical operations. This study will be conducted to determine the effect of kinesio taping on the mother\'s pain and comfort after cesarean section. It is planned to include 60 women who gave birth by cesarean section in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Şırnak State Hospital. Research data will be collected with the visual analog scale and postpartum comfort scale. If the data shows normal distribution, Unrelated Samples t Test, Related Samples t Test and Repeated Measures ANOVA (Repeated Measures) tests will be used.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
kinesio tapingOther
Despite the increasing indications and new application techniques developed all over the world, it is believed that there is a need for evidence regarding the mechanisms of action and effectiveness of kinesio taping. As a result of the literature review, no study was found in which kinesio taping was applied for 72 hours as a non-pharmacological complementary method to reduce postoperative pain after cesarean section and increase postpartum comfort. In this study, it is planned to apply kinesiotaping for 72 hours after cesarean section.
Routine clinical careOther
As routine clinical care; Analgesic treatment protocol applied after cesarean section, postnatal care and discharge services are provided
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| kinesio taping group | Experimental | Kinesio taping will be applied to this group. Receives: Other: kinesio taping; Other: Routine clinical care |
| control group | Experimental | Participants in this group will not receive any intervention other than routine clinical care. Receives: Other: Routine clinical care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
vas
It is used to measure subjectively perceived pain
Measured: VAS will be applied at the 10th hour, 24th hour, 48th hour and 72nd hour after cesarean section.
Postpartum comfort questionnaire
It is a scale that can be used appropriately and safely in measuring the postpartum comfort of mothers who have given birth normally or by cesarean section, in meeting the postpartum comfort needs, and in evaluating the outcome as a concrete indicator of the outcome.
Measured: It will be filled in at the 10th and 72th hours after birth.
