| Sumario: | Introduction: Kinesiological bandage is a low-cost, simple and easy-to-apply non-pharmacological treatment that aims to reduce pain, local edema and improvement of muscle activity. Objective: To evaluate the association between the use of compressive bandage in the occurrence of postoperative pain in women undergoing mastectomy at Cancer Hospital III of the National Cancer Institute (HC III/INCA). Method: One hundred and six women who underwent mastectomy between March and November 2021 participated of this randomized clinical trial. The patients were randomly assigned to a routine care group at the institution and an intervention group, in which the application of a compressive bandage in the breast plastron in the first postoperative day (D1) was added to the routine care. Pain, paresthesia, range of motion and axillary web syndrome were evaluated on the D1, the first week (D7) and the first month (D30) after surgery. Results: The two groups were similar with respect to demographic and clinical data. There was no significant difference in the presence of local pain (at D7 and D30) in 24.1% and 27.8% for the compressive bandage group (p=0.102) and 11.8% and 17.6% for the control group (p=0.217). There were no other statistically significant differences for any outcome assessed. Conclusion: The use of compressive bandage in the immediate postoperative period was not associated with pain and other complications in the 7th and 30th days after mastectomies. |
