چکیده
Method Fifty elective cardiosurgical patients at the age of 66 ± 10 years undergoing sternotomy between 09/2014 and 11/2014 at the University Hospital Duesseldorf were enrolled in the trial. All patients were randomly assigned to either group TAPE (n = 25), receiving Kinesio taping after discharge from the intensive care unit, or group CONTROL (n = 25) without any taping. In each group, two drop-outs occurred. Until discharge from the hospital, the pain level of all patients was daily assessed using a standardized pain measurement scale ranging from 0 to 10 points. Moreover, the need for additional analgesic therapy was documented.
