Nutrition before surgery for Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving special nutrition before surgery can help Crohn's disease patients recover better. If you are having surgery for Crohn's, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Crohn's disease and are scheduled for surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not currently on total parenteral nutrition (TPN), which is nutrition given directly into a vein.
- You do not have other serious chronic conditions like cancer, organ transplant, advanced kidney or liver disease, or other inflammatory conditions (besides Crohn's).
- Your surgery is not just to reverse an ileostomy/colostomy or drain an abscess.
