Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
There are various methods to improve the patient's quality of life and alleviate complications after surgical extraction of the lower third molars (wisdom teeth). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio tape using the web strip technique in alleviating complications after surgical extraction of the lower third molar compared to cold packs.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 18-35 years after surgical extraction of the lower third molar
What does the study involve?
Participants underwent surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth (two teeth for each patient with a 4-week period between the two surgical extractions). Each surgical extraction takes 20-40 minutes. On one side Kinesio Tape was applied using the web strip technique, while cold packs were applied on the other side.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefits are decreased pain, edema (swelling) and trismus (lockjaw), and increased quality of life. There are no risks after the application of Kinesio tape.
Where is the study run from?
Damascus University (Syria)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
September 2021 to June 2023
Who is funding the study?

| Scientific title | Evaluation of the use of kinesio tape in web strip technique efficacy to reduce the sequelae comparing with cryotherapy after impacted third molar extraction: a randomized clinical split-mouth study |
| Study hypothesis | Null Hypothesis: There is no difference between the use of Kinesio Tape and cryotherapy on pain after surgery between the groups. Alternative Hypothesis: There is a difference between the use of Kinesio Tape and cryotherapy on pain after surgery between the groups. |

| Condition | Complications after surgical extraction of lower third molars |
| Intervention | The intervention was a surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth (two teeth for each patient with a 4-week period between the two surgical extractions). Each surgical extraction takes 20-40 minutes. On one side Kinesio tape was applied using the web strip technique, while cryotherapy (cold packs) was applied on the other side. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Pain measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days after the surgery 2. Patient's maximum possible mouth opening measured using a millimeter measuring tool (Piacolis) before surgery and on the third and fifth days after surgery to evaluate trismus 3. Facial swelling evaluated using a millimeter measuring tool by measuring the lengths of four lines between four fixed anatomical points on the face preoperatively and on the third and fifth postoperative days |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Severity of postoperative symptoms measured using a questionnaire based on the Post-operative Symptom Severity Scale (PoSSe) on the 7th day after surgery 2. Pain evaluated by recording the number of consumed analgesic pills daily on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days after the surgery |
