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.

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.
