Immune Modulation by Enhanced vs Standard Prehabilitation Program Before Major Surgery
Recruiting
I'm InterestedTrial ID: NCT04498208
Purpose
Over 30 million surgeries are performed annually in the US. Up to 30% of surgical patients
experience delayed surgical recovery, marked by prolonged post-surgical pain, opioid
consumption, and functional impairment, which contributes $8 billion annually to US health
care costs. Novel interventions that improve the resolution of pain, minimize opioid
exposure, and accelerate functional recovery after surgery are urgently needed.
Multi-modal pre-operative optimization programs (or "prehab") integrating exercise,
nutrition, and stress reduction have been shown to safely and effectively improve outcomes
after surgery. However, no objective biological markers assess prehab effectiveness and are
able to tailor prehab programs to individual patients. Surgery is a profound immunological
perturbation, during which a complex network of innate and adaptive immune cells is mobilized
to organize the recovery process of wound healing, tissue repair, and pain resolution. As
such, the in-depth assessment of a patient's immune system before surgery is a promising
approach to tailor prehab programs to modifiable biological markers associated with surgical
recovery. The primary goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a
personalized prehab program on patients immunological status before surgery.
