Ultrasound vs. colonoscopy for monitoring ulcerative colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with active ulcerative colitis.
- You currently have symptoms like rectal bleeding, frequent stools, or mucous discharge.

This trial uses a gentle ultrasound scan (on the outside of the body) to see how well treatment is working during a moderate to severe flare of ulcerative colitis. It aims to find out if this painless test can predict recovery and help guide care without needing a telescope exam (endoscopy).
This study looks at whether stool tests, combined with a special camera test of the colon, can help find early signs of colon changes in people who have had ulcerative colitis for a long time. It aims to improve how we monitor for any serious changes like cancer.
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 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 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.
This study is testing if a special ultrasound method (called Modified Milan Ultrasound Criteria) can accurately measure how active and severe your ulcerative colitis is. It is for people with moderate-to-severe UC who are starting a new treatment called mirikizumab.
