Tests anal function in people with inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks how well the anal area works in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), even when your bowel disease is “in remission” but you may still have symptoms. It may help doctors better understand the cause of ongoing problems and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a healthy volunteer or have IBD (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis)
- If you have IBD, your disease must be in remission (not “active disease”)
- You must be at least partly experiencing ongoing symptoms, or be symptom-free but still have IBD in remission
- No recent anal or pelvic surgery (including procedures around childbirth)
- No major ongoing health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or liver disease

This study tests a device called AIRE-2 that analyzes your breath to see if it can help manage IBD symptoms. It is for people with IBD who are in remission but still have IBS-like symptoms like belly pain or bloating.
This study looks at stool (poop) samples to understand differences in gut bacteria in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), depending on whether they’ve had treatment. It may help researchers find better ways to explain IBS and improve care.
This study looks at changes in fats (lipids) in the blood and the lining of the gut in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help researchers understand IBD better and find new ways to treat it.
This study looks for signs in your body—like breath and blood tests—that can show how well you are following a special diet for IBS. It aims to find better ways to track diet compliance, which could help make dietary treatments more effective.
This trial tests a new treatment called SMT04 for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), specifically the diarrhea or mixed types. It may help reduce symptoms like abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.
This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
