Heart rate biofeedback for ulcerative colitis flare
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether training your body to control heart-rate patterns (biofeedback) can reduce symptoms during an ulcerative colitis flare. It may help by targeting the body’s stress and heart rhythm signals without directly changing inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have ulcerative colitis with active symptoms right now
- Your inflammation test is low (fecal calprotectin under 250)
- You do not use medicines known to change heart-rate variability
- You do not have a pacemaker or any implanted device

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a gentle ultrasound scan (on the outside of the body) to see how well treatment is working during a moderate to severe flare of ulcerative colitis. It aims to find out if this painless test can predict recovery and help guide care without needing a telescope exam (endoscopy).
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber) can help people hospitalized with a moderate to severe ulcerative colitis flare get better faster. You will receive the therapy along with standard steroid treatment.
This trial tests if low-intensity ultrasound waves applied to the colon can reduce inflammation in people with active ulcerative colitis. If successful, it could offer a new drug-free way to manage flare-ups.
This trial tests new therapies for people with a severe UC flare that hasn't improved after 5 days of high-dose steroids. It aims to find more effective options to control symptoms and avoid hospitalization.
This study looks at heart health in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to understand the risk of heart problems over 2 years.
This study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy—breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber—to standard care can help people with a severe flare of ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disease). It may reduce inflammation and speed up recovery.
