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.

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 whether acupuncture can help ease symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea in people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. If you join, you can keep taking your current UC medications (like mesalamine) while receiving acupuncture.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device (like a small patch) can make the bowel-cleaning preparation for a colonoscopy work better. If you are having a colonoscopy, this might help you feel ready for the procedure and improve the quality of the exam.
