A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled clinical trial. A blinded, trained researcher performed the end point assessments for pain (Pressure Pain Threshold and Brief Pain Inventory) and muscle architecture (ultrasound imaging measurements). Forty-six colon cancer survivors who were assigned to the CO-CUIDATE group or usual care group. The CO-CUIDATE program was conducted for eight weeks. A trained researcher who was blinded to patient group performed the assessments. The tests were carried out with multiple observations. Intention-to-treat analyses were performed. The program had an adherence rate of 88.36% and two dropouts (10.5%). The participants reported some minor side effects during the first exercise sessions. The analysis revealed significant differences in the group x time interactions for the lumbar side (dominant: F = 3.1, P   The CO-CUIDATE program is effective for improving the musculoskeletal conditions related to the lumbopelvic area in colon cancer survivors, specifically in relation to pain and the internal oblique thickness.enColon Cancer SurvivorsMuscle ArchitecturePainPhysical ActivityStabilization Exercise ProgramUltrasoundAbdominal MusclesAgedCancer SurvivorsColonic NeoplasmsExerciseExercise TherapyFemaleFollow-Up StudiesHumansLumbosacral RegionMaleMiddle AgedMuscle StrengthPain MeasurementPelvisPlyometric Exerciseresearch article28340204open access10.1093/pm/pnx0261526-4637https://academic.oup.com/painmedicine/article-pdf/18/7/1366/18245845/pnx026.pdf
