Study Summary

After having abdominal surgery, patients often experience a lack of bowel function that can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal swelling, pain, and/or discomfort. This is known as "post-operative ileus." Patients are usually not allowed to leave the hospital until their doctor is sure that their bowel function has returned. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare using a rocking chair to the standard of care in improving post-operative ileus after abdominal surgery.

Primary Outcome

Efficacy of rocking chair motion on surgical-induced stress response as measured by salivary cortisol sample collected each morning in two groups of colon cancer patients recovering from abdominal surgery randomized to receive either a rocking chair motion intervention or standard care.
