Could fear of movement slow spine surgery recovery?
NCT ID NCT07762183
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a patient's frailty, dependence in daily activities, and fear of movement before surgery affect how well they move and care for themselves right after lumbar disc herniation surgery. Researchers will assess these factors before surgery and on the first day after surgery in about 221 adults. The goal is to identify risk factors that could help nurses create more personalized care and rehabilitation plans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If certain pre-surgery factors are linked to slower recovery, this could help nurses personalize care plans to improve early mobilization and self-care after spine surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can only show connections, not cause and effect. The results may not apply to all spine surgery patients or other hospitals.
