Hand-held ultrasound for Crohn's disease inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small, hand-held ultrasound device can find signs of inflammation in the bowel wall of people with Crohn's disease. It may help doctors check disease activity more easily and without radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Crohn's disease that affects the last part of your small intestine (terminal ileum) or your colon.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your bowel can be seen clearly on an ultrasound.
- Your Crohn's disease is not limited to the upper small intestine or the rectum only.

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 study uses intestinal ultrasound to measure Crohn's disease damage over time. It aims to see if ultrasound can replace more invasive tests like MRI or colonoscopy.
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 tests if drinking water before an ultrasound helps doctors see the small bowel better in people with Crohn's disease. If your initial scan showed a narrow or thickened bowel area, you may be asked to drink water and have a second scan to see if the images improve.
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 a non-invasive device (like a wearable or smartphone app) can measure inflammation in people with active IBD. It aims to make monitoring easier and less uncomfortable than traditional methods.
