Exercise training after permanent stoma surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at a specific exercise program after planned surgery to create a permanent stoma (an opening for stool). The goal is to see whether the training helps people recover and function better after surgery.

This study tests whether nutrition support and exercise help patients with early-stage colon cancer recover better after surgery. Researchers will provide dietary guidance and a supervised exercise program tailored to your needs.
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
This trial tests whether a training program can help people who have a permanent colostomy feel more confident in managing their daily care. If you are scheduled for a permanent colostomy, can speak Turkish, and have a phone, this study may be a good fit.
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
This study tests if teaching patients about their upcoming stoma (an opening in the belly to pass stool) before surgery helps them recover better. It aims to improve care for people needing a temporary or permanent stoma.
This trial tests whether a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
