Water intake during small intestine ultrasound for Crohn's disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have Crohn's disease affecting the small intestine
- The bowel wall in the lower part of the small intestine is thicker than normal (>3 mm)
- The bowel doesn't expand well during an initial ultrasound (less than 8 mm in the terminal ileum)
- You have had an ileo-colic anastomosis (surgery connecting the end of the small intestine to the colon)

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.
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 tests if drinking water before an MRI scan works just as well as the usual bowel preparation for people with Crohn's disease. If you need an MRI to check on your Crohn's, this study might be an option for you.
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 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.
