Measuring Crohn's disease with ultrasound
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much damage Crohn's disease has caused in your intestines, which may help doctors track the disease without repeated scans or procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You do not have ulcerative colitis or other inflammatory bowel disease types.
- You do not have disease only in the upper digestive tract, rectum, or around the anus.
- You can have an MRI, colonoscopy, or ultrasound (no allergies to contrast dye or kidney problems).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an intestinal ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) to check how well Crohn's disease is controlled. It may help doctors see inflammation without more invasive tests.
This trial tests if a small, hand-held ultrasound device can detect inflammation in the bowel caused by Crohn's disease. It may offer a simpler, more accessible way to monitor the disease.
This trial compares two types of MRI scans to see how well they detect inflammation in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. It aims to find the best way to assess disease activity without invasive procedures.
This study tests whether drinking water during an ultrasound of the small intestine improves image quality in people with Crohn's disease who have certain bowel wall thickening or a previous ileo-colic surgery. The goal is to see if water helps the bowel expand enough for a clearer view.
This study looks at muscle strength and muscle mass in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to understand how IBD affects muscles, which can help improve patient care.
This study looks at people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy to check for abnormal cells in the colon. The goal is to learn more about these growths and how likely they are to become cancer over time, which could help improve future monitoring and treatment.
