Prehabilitation for bowel cancer patients undergoing surgery to improve fitness and reduce complications

ABSTRACT: Interventions: 1. Patient triage medical conditions 2. Exercise program 3. Nutritional supplements 4. Smoke cessation 5. Psychological coping Primary outcome(s): The first primary outcome is postoperative complications, as scored using the Comprehensive Complication Index score as a combined outcome measure of morbidity and mortality. The second primary/confirmatory outcome is the patients’ functional capacity, as measured by the six-minute walk test (6MWT). Study Design: Randomized controlled trial, Open (masking not used), Active, Parallel

Project description:Interventions: Participants will participate in an initial assessment conducted by a senior physiotherapist to determine baseline exercise tolerance and other descriptors. This includes a 6 minute walking test (6MWT) and a balance/frailty assessment called a short physical performance battery (SPPB). A quality of life survey (QLQ C30) will also be assessed at this time. They will then participate in a 2x weekly, one hour in length duration tailored supervised exercise program. This is conducted by a senior physiotherapist and 4th year physiotherapy students from Curtin University. Participants recruited may be currently receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), have finished CRT on not completing CRT. The intervention is carried out despite their current CRT as to not impact on their cancer care. It has already been proven that exercise is safe at any point within the patients’ treatment journey and this is why this approach was taken. The program will consist of a walking program (determined from their 6MWT result) and resistance exercises via standard gymnasium equipment. The program is run as a group class, with a maximum of 10 participants per class. Their program will be documented and progressed / regressed as deemed appropriate by the supervising physiotherapist. The participants will be asked to exercise at a ‘moderate intensity’ which is described as ‘difficulty walking and talking’. The walking program is implemented on a flat walking track within the hospital, and resistance exercises are completed on standard gymnasium equipment in the Physiotherapy gym. These include, upper limb exercise with free weights, sit to stand, step ups, calf raises, body weight push up, large muscle group exercise on gym equipment (leg press, latissimus Primary outcome(s): Exercise tolerance in meters, assessed using 6-minute walk test (6MWT) [Following completion of a 6 week Prehabilitation exercise program compared to pre-completion of the program] Study Design: Purpose: Treatment; Allocation: Non-randomised trial; Masking: Open (masking not used);Assignment: Single group;Type of endpoint: Efficacy

Project description:Interventions: Study setting- The study will be conducted at the Surgical Professorial Unit of Colombo South Teaching Hospital. Method of randomization- • Following consent, participants will be randomized 1:1 using a random number table to the intervention group or control group with stratification by gender and age group. •The research associate (who will be responsible for patient consent) will be blinded to group allocation. Description of mindfulness based tromodal prehabilitation intervention • The multidisciplinary Mindfulnes-Based trimodal prehabilitation program is composed of four (04) elements: 1. Exercise program 2. Nutritional intervention 3. Psychological coping 4. Mindfulness Protocol • The exact interventions are described in detail below: Exercise program • Patients will be asked to perform unsupervised exercises 4 days a week for 30 minutes per session. • The exercise regime will comprise of 5 min warm-up exercises, 20 min aerobic exercises and 5 min cool down exercises. • A personalized trainer will evaluate the patient and after discussing with the patient and their families will come up with an individualized exercise plan for the patients based on their physical capacity and resources. • They will also be given a DVD containing videos of the exercises performed by a trained personal giving instruction to the patient to follow. • Patients will be given a chart to fill once completing their exercise regime daily. Nutrition intervention • The patients enrolled in the prehabilitation program will be evaluated by a qualified nutritionist during the first visit, Aasubjective global assessment will be used to assess each patients’ nutritional status and requirements and an appropr Primary outcome(s): Functional recovery using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT, Pulse Rate (PR), Blood Pressure (BP) and Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) [1. At the start of the trial 2. Four weeks after prehabilitation or Before the surgery 3. 4-Weeks post-operatively 4. 8-Weeks post-operatively ] Study Design: Randomized controlled trial
