Neuromuscular blockers and bowel recovery after colorectal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a type of muscle relaxant used during anesthesia can help your bowels recover faster after colorectal surgery. It may be an option if you are having surgery for colon or rectal conditions like cancer or benign growths.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective colorectal surgery (not emergency) under general anesthesia.
- You have a diagnosis like colorectal cancer, benign polyps, strictures, or diverticular disease.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease, nor require dialysis.
- You do not have a history of muscle disorders, opioid abuse, or long-term painkiller use.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have a planned stoma or certain low rectal surgeries.

This trial tests whether pyridostigmine helps return bowel function faster after colorectal surgery when the gut is “stuck,” causing bloating and no gas or stool. It also checks safety and side effects compared with standard care.
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
This trial tests a stomach (gastrointestinal) stimulation approach to help your bowels start working again after extensive surgery, which may cause a temporary problem called postoperative ileus. If it helps, it could mean faster recovery and less time with bowel-related complications.
This trial tests a painkiller called Tegileridine to see if it helps your bowels work normally again after abdominal surgery.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
This study is looking at how common and severe a condition called 'postoperative ileus' (temporary slowdown of the bowel) is after planned digestive tract surgeries. It will help doctors better understand and manage this complication.
