Intervention model description: The effect of kinesio taping on pain in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: This study was planned to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KT) applied to the abdominal area after surgery on pain and gas output in children aged 6-12 years who had open appendicitis surgery.

Detailed description: It is stated that kinesio taping, alone or in combination, is an alternative application for the pain management of various disease and symptom processes. These sources state that kinesion relieves pain and makes movement easier. When the literature was examined, no study could be found examining the effectiveness of kinesio tape application in pain management and flatulence in the post-operative period in children who had appendicitis surgery. For this reason, this study aimed to examine the effect of kinesio taping applied to the abdominal area on pain and gas output after appendicitis surgery in children between the ages of 6-12.
