Comparing two types of ultrasound for inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if a standard ultrasound is as good as a high-end one at seeing inflammation in the gut. It could help people with IBD avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects your small or large intestine.
- You are feeling well enough to have both an intestinal ultrasound and a colonoscopy.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study steps.

This study compares different ultrasound-based scoring systems to see which is most accurate for assessing disease activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. If you have one of these conditions, participating could help improve how doctors measure disease severity without invasive tests.
This study uses ultrasound images of the intestines to help develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that may improve diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis). Healthy people and those having an intestinal ultrasound for any reason are welcome to join.
This study looks at whether a simple test can help doctors tell the difference between conditions that cause long-term gut problems, like irritable bowel syndrome (a functional disorder) and inflammatory bowel disease (a disease that causes inflammation). It aims to find a way to diagnose without invasive procedures, which could lead to faster and more comfortable diagnosis for patients.
This study compares a newer, possibly greener imaging method (IBUS) with standard colonoscopy and enterography for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD). The goal is to see if IBUS is as helpful and produces less waste or carbon emissions.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide treatment can help manage inflammatory bowel disease. You may join if you are having an endoscopy to assess your disease.
This study compares how well intestinal ultrasound and colonoscopy measure disease activity in people with ulcerative colitis. The goal is to see if ultrasound can be a less invasive way to track inflammation.
