Ultrasound for hidden joint issues in IBD
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a harmless ultrasound to check for early, non-obvious joint and muscle problems in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who have not been diagnosed with arthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
- You have never been told you have inflammatory arthritis or another rheumatologic disease.
- You do not have any serious health problems that could affect joint or muscle testing, like severe infections or cancer.

This study uses ultrasound with elastography (a special way to see how stiff or soft your muscles are) to check muscle health in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors find muscle problems early.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound scan can help your primary care doctor make better decisions about muscle, bone, or joint problems. You would receive an ultrasound in addition to your usual check-up.
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.
This study uses questionnaires and ultrasound to find early signs of inflammatory arthritis (spondyloarthritis) in people with inflammatory bowel disease. It aims to catch joint problems early so treatment can start sooner.
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 a small, hand-held ultrasound device can find signs of inflammation in the bowel wall of people with Crohn's disease. It may help doctors check disease activity more easily and without radiation.
