Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Pilot group
As a pilot Group for observating variable rehabilitation under individual baselines.
Device: Actiwatch 2 (Philips Respironics, Murrysville, USA)
Actiwatch 2 is an unobtrusive, waterproof, light sensor and wrist-worn device (weight 16.0g, size 4.3 cm* 2.3 cm* 1.0 cm), containing a tri-axial accelerometer able to records a digitally integrated measure of gross motor activity (a piezoelectric sensor to detect vertical accelerations at the wrist between 0.5 and 2.0 g with a frequency response range between 0.35-7.5 Hz). Activity counts from the device reflect the peak acceleration detected over each epoch and are used in determining sleep and wake intervals, which can be used to rest-activity patterns, quality of physical activity and sleep for 15-60 seconds/ epoch, 24 hours/ day, 2 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Length of functional rehabilitation
Time Frame: Through study completion, minimum 7 days
Investigators will calculate preperative Activity Counts per day as a baseline then being compared to postoperative Activity Counts per day until one day when both Counts is equal. Length of functional rehabilitation defines that duration from surgical day to the day when both Counts is equal.
Through study completion, minimum 7 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of recovery
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The translation of the Danish version of the postoperative quality of recovery scale QoR-15D is used to evaluate the quality of care.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of fatigue
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The Christensen Fatigue Scale (ChrFS) will be utilized to evaluate the degree of fatigue.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of pain
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (excruciating pain) is used to score postoperative pain.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of vomiting.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (nothing) to 10 (worest) is used to score postoperative vomiting.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of nausea.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (nothing) to 10 (worest) is used to score postoperative nausea.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of Activity Counts
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
Investigators will use Electric Devices to record Activity Counts per day. Activity counts will be classified as sedentary behavior (SB) < 1303 counts/min (cpm), low intensity physical activity (LIPA) 1303 cpm - < 2588 cpm, and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) ≧2588 cpm.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
Length of sleep time
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 14 days
Investigators will use devices to record the specific sleep time for patients.
Through study completion, an average of 14 days
The quantization of morbidity
Time Frame: up to 30 days
The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) is applied as a standard to grade the morbidity in 30 days after surgery.
up to 30 days
The quantization of mortality
Time Frame: up to 30 days
Investigators will investigate whether patients will experience unexpected death in 30 days after surgery
up to 30 days

General Publications

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
