Sacral nerve stimulation for ulcerative colitis symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether sacral nerve stimulation—a device that sends small electrical signals near nerves in the lower back—can be safe and helpful for ulcerative colitis. It is meant for people whose ulcerative colitis has not improved enough with medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis for at least 3 months
- Your ulcerative colitis is considered moderate (based on specific clinic score ranges)
- Your symptoms have not responded well to medicine (medical treatment resistant)

- You are not currently using biologic medicines

This trial tests if sacral nerve stimulation can safely help people with ulcerative colitis that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (like acupuncture without needles) on the skin can help people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
This trial tests a new medical device called BOOM-IBD2 that uses gentle nerve stimulation to treat ulcerative colitis. It's for people who have not had UC surgery and do not have certain infections or other implanted devices.
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 study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce symptoms like diarrhea and blood in stool for people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. It is a non-drug treatment that may be added to your usual therapy with mesalamine.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in your lower back to help control both bowel and bladder leakage. It is for women who have had severe fecal and urinary incontinence for at least six months and have not improved with other treatments.
