Description
Özel and three co-authors published a 2026 PLOS ONE trial on easing pain after open-heart surgery. A cut through the breastbone, called a median sternotomy, leaves strong pain as it heals. The trial tested elastic therapeutic taping, sticky bands meant to support tissue and ease pain. Patients were assigned at random to taping or standard care. A cheap, drug-free aid would be welcome after such major surgery.
