Acupuncture for mild to moderate Crohn’s flare
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help calm an active Crohn’s disease flare that is mild to moderate. It may be an option if standard Crohn’s medicines like steroids, immunosuppressors, and anti-TNF drugs are not working for you or you can’t tolerate them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’re between 16 and 70 years old
