Muscle relaxants during colorectal surgery to speed bowel recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different muscle relaxants used during anesthesia can help your bowels recover faster after colorectal surgery. It might help you get back to normal eating and bowel function sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for colorectal surgery under general anesthesia. This includes surgery for colorectal cancer, non-cancerous polyps, narrow areas (strictures), or diverticular disease.
- You do not have severe memory or mental health problems that would make it hard to answer questionnaires.
- You have not had radiation or chemotherapy before surgery, and you are not planning to have a stoma (bag) or surgery on the very lowest part of the rectum.
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease, or severe bowel problems like intestinal blockage or active inflammatory bowel disease.
- You do not have a history of muscle disorders (like myasthenia gravis), opioid abuse, or a need for long-term pain medications.

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.
