Comparing two treatments for Crohn's disease flare-ups
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a steroid called prednisolone to a special diet (aCDED with PEN) for treating Crohn's disease flare-ups. It aims to see which approach helps improve quality of life.

This study tests whether adding a special diet (called CDED) to a biologic medicine (infliximab or adalimumab) helps control Crohn's disease better than the medicine alone. It may reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
This study tests whether a special diet using a nutritional supplement can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in people with active Crohn's disease affecting the small intestine. It aims to see how the diet changes gut bacteria and body composition.
This study looks at how a specific amino-acid (threonine) diet affects adults with Crohn’s disease and signs of intestinal inflammation. It may help researchers understand what dietary protein needs could support more stable disease.
This study tests whether a specific diet after Crohn’s surgery can help you recover and stay well. It compares outcomes in people who can follow an exact diet plan after bowel resection.
This study tests whether changing your diet and lifestyle can help repair the lining of your gut if you have Crohn's disease. It focuses on people whose Crohn's causes food-related symptoms or IBS-like symptoms, and involves a special scope procedure to check for food-triggered gut barrier damage.
This trial tests whether a Nordic-adapted version of a special diet (called CDED) works as well as the standard version for children with Crohn's disease. It aims to help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
