Summary
This study tests whether electroacupuncture (using mild electrical pulses on needles) can help people recover bowel function faster after minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery. 240 adults will be randomly assigned to receive real acupuncture, a sham (placebo) version, or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if acupuncture shortens the time to the first bowel movement and reduces post-surgery digestive discomfort.
