简要总结
The goal of this prospective clinical trial is to evaluate the additive therapeutic efficacy of Kinesio taping combined with routine post-surgical cryotherapy in reducing acute postoperative facial edema and pain in adult patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the application of compression Kinesio taping significantly reduce post-surgical facial edema compared to standard postoperative care alone?
Does Kinesio taping provide additional pain relief and functional recovery during the early acute postoperative phase when compared with standard compression taping?
Researchers will compare patients receiving bilateral Kinesio taping alongside standard postoperative cryotherapy to a control group receiving standard postoperative cryotherapy alongside standard compression taping to see if Kinesio taping taping provides a superior or additive effect in decreasing edema and alleviating pain.
Participants will:
Undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery under a standardized surgical protocol.
Receive routine postoperative cold/cryotherapy application as part of baseline care.
Randomly, have Kinesio tape applied immediately postoperatively using a compression taping approach (intervention group) or receive standard rigid compression taping (control group).
Undergo standardized facial swelling and pain assessments at pre-determined postoperative follow-up intervals.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kinesio tape
Participants in this arm received bilateral facial Kinesio taping using standard 5-cm wide elastic tape in addition to routine postoperative care. The tape was applied immediately following surgery using the mechanical correction technique with a tension of approximately 75%-100% across the correction area, while the anchors were placed with no tension (0%). The tape strips followed anatomical landmarks along the postoperative facial region. On the third postoperative day, the initial tape was removed, the skin was inspected for potential adverse reactions (e.g., redness, irritation, itching, or blistering), and a new set of tape strips were applied following the same protocol. The Kinesio taping was maintained for a total duration of seven consecutive days.
干预措施: Kinesio tape (Other)
Rigid compression taping
Participants in this arm received bilateral rigid compression taping over the postoperative facial region immediately following surgery. The tape strips followed the same anatomical landmarks along the postoperative facial region. The tape tension was adjusted manually by a trained physiotherapist to provide firm compression and support while avoiding excessive pressure, circulatory impairment, respiratory restriction, or marked discomfort. The rigid compression tape was replaced on the third postoperative day, and the facial skin was inspected for potential adverse reactions such as redness, irritation, or pressure marks. The rigid compression taping was maintained for a total treatment duration of seven days.

结局指标
主要结局
Facial edema
时间窗: Immediately after surgery and post-op day 2
Edema evaluation was performed using a standard flexible plastic tape measure (accuracy ±0.5 mm). Seven linear facial distances were recorded bilaterally and the sum of both sides was used for analysis.
Postoperative pain
时间窗: Immediately after surgery and post-op day 2
Postoperative pain intensity was assessed using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). The scale was anchored by "no pain" at one end and "the worst pain imaginable" at the other. Participants were instructed to mark the point on the line that best represented their current level of postoperative pain. The distance between the "no pain" anchor and the participant's mark was measured and converted to a score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Facial edema
时间窗: Post-op day 2 and post-op day 5
Edema evaluation was performed using a standard flexible plastic tape measure (accuracy ±0.5 mm). Seven linear facial distances were recorded bilaterally and the sum of both sides was used for analysis.
