The effect of Kinesio tape application on postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery for benign reasons: a randomized controlled study.
Trial report in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06648811 (The Effect of Kinesio Tape on Pain Management in Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgeries), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
objectivePostoperative pain management remains a significant challenge in laparoscopic gynecological surgery. Kinesio tape has emerged as a potential non-pharmacological intervention for pain management across various surgical procedures. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesio tape application on postoperative pain levels and recovery parameters in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery for benign conditions.
methodsA prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted at Mersin University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from October 2024 to January 2025. Fifty-four female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were randomly assigned to kinesio tape group (n = 27) or control group (n = 27). Pain assessment was performed using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and algometer measurements. Secondary outcomes included mobilization frequency, time to first flatus, and analgesic consumption.
resultsThe kinesio tape group demonstrated significantly lower postoperative pain scores compared to controls (VAS: median 1 vs. 4, p < 0.001; NRS: median 3 vs. 7, p < 0.001). Patients in the kinesio tape group showed earlier gas passage (11.67 ± 4.4 vs. 16.11 ± 5.1 h, p = 0.001), increased mobilization frequency (9.89 ± 3.2 vs. 5.41 ± 1.8 per 24 h, p < 0.001), and reduced analgesic consumption for diclofenac sodium (166.67 ± 37.9 vs. 211.11 ± 29.7 mg, p < 0.001) and acetaminophen (2185.19 ± 557.3 vs. 2925.93 ± 266.9 mg, p < 0.001).
conclusionKinesio tape application significantly reduces postoperative pain, enhances early mobilization, and decreases analgesic requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery, representing a valuable adjunct to multimodal pain management strategies.
