Pain after surgery is one of the problems faced by patients. Damaged tissue due to surgical procedures that open the skin triggers pain impulses. The type of surgery Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) is one of the most widely performed treatments. Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) functions as a fixation tool or connector for broken bones to return them to their proper shape. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cold compresses could effectively reduce the severity of postoperative pain in fracture patients. This study used a quantitative research design with two groups undergoing experimental treatment (two groups pre-test and post-test). Pharmacological therapy in the control group was effective in reducing pain, the combination of pharmacological therapy and cold compresses in the experimental group provided a more optimal analgesic effect .]]>
