First seen Jun 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to standard recovery care helps the gut work normally sooner after major abdominal surgery. About 148 adults having pancreas or colorectal surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus TEAS and TCM. The main goals are to see how quickly patients pass gas and have a bowel movement after surgery.
