This trial tests a new medical device called BOOM-IBD2 that uses gentle nerve stimulation to treat ulcerative colitis. It's for people who have not had UC surgery and do not have certain infections or other implanted devices.
This trial tests if low-intensity ultrasound waves applied to the colon can reduce inflammation in people with active ulcerative colitis. If successful, it could offer a new drug-free way to manage flare-ups.
This study tests whether acupuncture can help reduce symptoms like diarrhea and blood in stool for people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. It is a non-drug treatment that may be added to your usual therapy with mesalamine.
