Description
Linxi Sun and six co-authors lay out the CORRECT trial, a multicenter test of electroacupuncture for gut recovery after colon cancer surgery, in this 2024 protocol paper. Bowel shutdown after such surgery is common and slows everything. Three hundred patients across four centers will be assigned to real electroacupuncture, a sham version, or standard care alone.
Needling at four points runs twice daily from surgery day through day four, on top of a shared recovery protocol. The main yardstick is time to first flatus, with bowel sounds, first stool, pain, nausea, and hospital stay among the backups. The authors aim for firm evidence on whether the needles earn a place in standard recovery pathways.
