Could getting patients moving sooner after colorectal surgery speed up recovery?
NCT ID NCT07374380
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nurse-led early mobilization protocol helps people recover better after elective colorectal surgery. Eighty adults will be randomly assigned to either the early mobilization plan or standard care. The goal is to see if early, guided movement improves walking, bowel function, comfort, and reduces hospital stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse-led early mobilization protocol
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a simple, low-cost way to help people recover faster after colorectal surgery, with less pain and shorter hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is just a change in nursing care, so any benefit is likely modest.
