Study Summary

This trial will test whether a personalized prehabilitation program can improve outcomes after surgery by reducing post-surgical pain, minimizing opioid consumption, and accelerating functional recovery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults who are about to have major elective surgery under general anesthesia in at least two weeks. It's not for those with a high surgical risk (ASA score 4+), cognitive disabilities, or physical conditions that prevent exercise, nor pregnant or breastfeeding women.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a personalized 'prehab' program designed to boost patients' immune systems before surgery. This includes exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, and mental training tailored to individual needs based on biological markers.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve non-invasive prehabilitation methods like stress management and physical exercises rather than medications, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Personalized prehabilitationExperimental Treatment4 Interventions

Patients will participate in a personalized health optimization program combining one-on-one coaching, tailored to each patient's physical, nutritional, well-being and cognitive status baseline. Prehabilitation will last from a minimum of 14 days to a maximum of 42 days before surgery

Group II: Standard prehabilitationActive Control1 Intervention

Patients in the control group will be provided with standard instructions in a hard-copy form specific to prehabilitation before surgery associating physical, nutritional, stress-reduction and cognitive recommendations without any personalized coaching for at least 14 days prior to surgery.
