Study what causes long-term pain in new Crohn’s or colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after being newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. It may help researchers understand the pain process and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s within the last 6 months
- You can use the internet and do basic tasks like emails and filling out online questionnaires
- You are able and willing to attend all study visits and tests, and sign consent forms
- You do not have severe, widespread bowel inflammation that could require surgery soon

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at bacteria in your gut that may produce chemicals linked to ongoing pain in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, even when the disease itself is not very active. Researchers want to understand why some people still have moderate to severe abdominal pain even after their inflammation has calmed down.
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis when their treatment is changed. It collects health information and samples to better understand how treatment changes affect people over time.
This study looks at how an environmental factor may be linked to Crohn’s disease, especially around the time you need certain bowel surgery. Your experience may help researchers understand risk and how it relates to your gut health.
This study looks for “biomarkers” (lab markers, like substances in blood or tissue) that may predict how Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis will go and how patients may respond. It may help doctors choose better monitoring or treatments in the future.
This study looks at what factors help predict how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may progress over time. You may be able to join if you are an adult with IBD and fit one of the study groups based on whether you have used TNF-blocking medicines before.
This study looks at how the lining of the colon heals in people with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease). It may help researchers understand whether anti-TNF treatment improves healing, especially when people have limited prior response or are starting biologic therapy.
