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 methods to see which best measures how active your Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to track disease severity without repeated colonoscopies.
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 a non-invasive intestinal ultrasound works versus a standard colonoscopy to check for active ulcerative colitis. If you are an adult with active UC symptoms like bleeding or frequent stools, this trial may help you learn about a potentially easier way to monitor your disease activity.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
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.
