RANDOMIZED
SINGLE_GROUP
SUPPORTIVE_CARE
SINGLE
Simple randomization will be applied to children who have had open appendicitis surgery and meet the inclusion criteria, without any stratification in the study.
In order to determine which group the 68 children who meet the sample selection criteria in the study group will be included in, numbers from 1 to 68 will be randomly distributed to 2 groups through a computer program (https://www.randomizer.org/) without number repetition. 34 patients will be assigned to the experimental group and 34 patients to the control group. Since the person who will actively apply the taping in the study is the researcher, only the children will be blinded, therefore a single blind design will be applied.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesio Taping
The taping process will be done immediately after appendicitis surgery. Kinesio taping will continue until child's first gas is released.
In addition to the standard pain management applied in the clinic, Kinesio tape will be applied to children who have had appendicitis surgery.
Kinesio taping
After appendicitis surgery, children will receive Kinesio taping in addition to the standard pain management applied in the clinic.
Control group
The control group will receive standard pain treatment without any intervention. The group will not receive any other intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
