This trial tests whether sacral nerve stimulation—a device that sends small electrical signals near nerves in the lower back—can be safe and helpful for ulcerative colitis. It is meant for people whose ulcerative colitis has not improved enough with medicines.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (like acupuncture without needles) on the skin can help people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
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 whether acupuncture can help ease symptoms like abdominal pain and diarrhea in people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. If you join, you can keep taking your current UC medications (like mesalamine) while receiving acupuncture.
This trial tests a new treatment for people with ulcerative colitis (UC) whose disease is active despite taking only mesalamine or sulfasalazine. It aims to find a therapy that can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a prebiotic supplement can improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It may be a good option for people with active symptoms who are already on stable medications.
