Summary

This trial tests whether a structured early mobilization program helps people recover faster after abdominal surgery. Half of the 130 participants will follow a gradual schedule of getting out of bed within the first 24 hours after surgery, while the other half receives routine care. Researchers will measure how quickly patients start moving, their recovery scores, pain levels, and how long they stay in the hospital. The goal is to see if early movement can improve recovery without causing harm.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
early mobilization program
What this could lead to
If it works, early mobilization could become a standard part of recovery after abdominal surgery, helping patients leave the hospital sooner and feel better faster.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 130 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Some patients may not tolerate early movement, and the program requires close supervision.
