Summary
This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electrical pulses) can help people recover their bowel function more quickly after minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery. About 240 adults will be randomly placed into one of three groups: real electroacupuncture, a sham (placebo) version, or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if those receiving real acupuncture have their first bowel movement sooner and feel less discomfort after surgery.
