Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cesarean section is a major abdominal surgery and major challenge of it is to manage the pain and make the patient mobile .In spite of the advantageous effects of kinesio taping and diaphragmatic breathing, limited, data reported to study analgesic effects on pain management and mobility restoration in acute phase of cesarean section.. This study will aim to meet the dares which are associated with cesarean section by reducing the incisional pain associated with improvement in physical mobility as a non-pharmacological treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In year 2022 conducted a study to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping with the breathing exercises on the management of pain after c section .Their title of study was The effects of Kinesio taping and breathing exercises on pain management after gynaecological abdominal surgery: A randomized controlled study. This study was conducted among 132 participants between June 2017 and 18.kinesio taping was applied immediately after the surgery and on the post op day 1, 2, 3 breathing exercises were performed for 30 mins three times a day. Their study concluded that kinesio taping is a reliable method to cover up the acute pain in the gynaecological abdominal surgery.

In the year 2022 a study was conducted with the title The effects of kinesio tape on low back pain and disability in pregnant women to scrutinize the effects of kinesio taping on low back pain and disability in pregnant females. It was a single blind clinical trial including 80 pregnant females. Two randomly assigned groups were made of in which pain was assessed by VAS before and after application of kinesio taping on the day 1st,2nd,7th,and 14th. Disability was measured by Roland-Morris disability questionnaire before and after intervention on day 7th and 14th. Their result concludes that kinesio taping have lasting effects on low back pain disability and reduced disability was noticed .In the year 2020 another study was conducted to study the effects of KT on the pain, anxiety, menstrual cramps in the women with primary dysmenorrhea with the comparison with control and sham tape.51 women with the PD were categorized in the three groups KT, sham tape and control group. KT was applied at the sacral and supra pubic region with the ligament technique in KT group and applied on the trochanter major with no technique in the sham tape group. Pain, anxiety level, and menstrual complaints were examined before and after intervention. Their was positive response of the study responding to the decrease in anxiety level menstrual cramps and pain.

To the best of researchers knowledge, there is not enough literature present which can justify the efficacy of these interventions in a justified manner. Data is not sufficient that supports combined efficacy of these two interventions after cesarean section regarding pain management and mobility.
