Later, The experimental groups was applied cold applications again for 20 minutes 1 hour, 2 hours and 6 hours after the suture. The visual Analog Scale were used as data collection tools. The Visual Analog Scale scale was applied before suturing. It was then applied 20 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 6 hours after the suturing procedure. The Visual Analog Scale: A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 10 points are obtained from the scale. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of pain
