About this study

Official title: Multidimensional Impact Analysis of Interactive Video Health Intervention on Quality of Life and Clinical Rehabilitation Indicators in Patients With Early Postoperative Bowel Obstruction: A Randomized Controlled Tria

Objective: To investigate the multidimensional effects of an interactive video health intervention on the quality of life and clinical rehabilitation indicators of patients with early postoperative bowel obstruction.

Methods: The study consists of two phases. Phase 1 (January 2019-December 2020) involves the development and psychometric validation of a Postoperative Quality of Life Assessment Scale for Early Intestinal Obstruction, with approximately 150 patients. Phase 2 (January 2021-January 2025) is a randomized controlled trial enrolling about 310 eligible patients (aged 18-75 years, with basic cognitive ability, diagnosed with early postoperative bowel obstruction after abdominal surgery). Participants are randomly assigned to either a control group (conventional care, including condition monitoring, basic treatment, and non-structured health education) or a study group (conventional care plus an interactive video health intervention consisting of five modular videos covering disease knowledge, rehabilitation, and diet, initiated 24 hours post-surgery).

Primary and secondary outcomes will include quality of life (assessed with the validated scale), clinical rehabilitation indicators (such as obstruction relief time and hospitalization duration), electrogastrogram parameters, and gut microbiota diversity (16S rRNA sequencing).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Conventional careBehavioural

    Standard conventional care including condition monitoring, basic medical treatment (gastrointestinal decompression, fluid replacement, correction of water-electrolyte disorders), and non-structured health education. Represents the current standard of care for postoperative bowel obstruction patients without the additional video-based intervention component.

  • Interactive Video Health InterventionBehavioural

    A structured interactive video intervention consisting of 5 modular videos covering disease knowledge, rehabilitation exercises, and dietary guidance. The videos use animation demonstrations, case analyses, and expert explanations, with interactive elements such as Q\&A sessions and polls. Initiated 24 hours post-surgery, patients can self-paced viewing using tablet devices with researcher support.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of Life (QoL) Score

    Scale consists of multiple domains assessing physical, psychological, and social functioning. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-intervention, within 24 hours after surgery) and at hospital discharge (average 8-10 days after randomization).

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Relief of Intestinal Obstruction

    Time from randomization to relief of intestinal obstruction symptoms (abdominal pain, distension, and resumption of defecation/flatus), measured in hours using daily clinical evaluation and patient report.

    Measured: From randomization to hospital discharge (daily assessment, average 8-10 days)

  2. Duration of Hospitalization

    Total number of days from the date of surgery to the date of hospital discharge, as recorded in hospital medical records. This indicator reflects postoperative recovery efficiency and the impact of the interactive video intervention on clinical outcomes.

    Measured: From the day of surgery through hospital discharge (an average of 7-10 days)

  3. Electrogastrogram (EGG) Parameters - Gastric Antrum Slow-Wave Amplitude

    Gastric antrum slow-wave amplitude measured in microvolts (μV) using electrogastrogram at specified time points.

    Measured: 24 hours post-intervention initiati

  4. Electrogastrogram (EGG) Parameters - Gastric Slow-Wave Frequency

    Gastric slow-wave frequency measured in cycles per minute (cpm) using electrogastrogram at specified time points.

    Measured: 24 hours post-intervention initiation and

  5. Title: Gut Microbiota Diversity (Shannon Index)

    Alpha diversity of gut microbiota measured by Shannon index using 16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples.

    Measured: First postoperative defecation (typically 3-5 days post-surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional care and Interactive Video Health Intervention in people with Intestinal Obstruction and Postoperative Complications, run by Changsha Fourth Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of Life (QoL) Score (time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention, within 24 hours after surgery) and at hospital discharge (average 8-10 days after randomization).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07258017, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2025.
