TCM tools for inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares people with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis to healthy volunteers to see if traditional Chinese medicine tools can help identify unique features of these conditions, like changes in tongue coating. It aims to improve how we diagnose and understand inflammatory bowel disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how diet affects inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It may help understand if certain foods can improve symptoms.
This study looks at blood and/or tissue “molecular” (cell-level) reasons why treatments don’t fully work in adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. If you are starting a biologic or small-molecule medicine and still have moderate to severe symptoms, you may be able to contribute to research that helps improve future care.
This study follows adults with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis when their treatment is changed. It collects health information and samples to better understand how treatment changes affect people over time.
This study looks at people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) and compares them with people without it. Researchers want to understand differences that may help explain or better detect the disease.
This trial studies whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet can improve inflammatory bowel disease (including mild to moderate Crohn’s). It may help by testing changes in gut inflammation measured by your symptoms and stool tests.
This study is looking at how the immune system works in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. By comparing blood or tissue samples from people with and without IBD, researchers hope to find better ways to treat the disease in the future.
