Brain Stimulation and Diet for Severe Crohn's Disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment) combined with an anti-inflammatory diet can help people with severe, treatment-resistant Crohn's disease feel better. The brain stimulation uses magnetic pulses on the scalp to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve (a major nerve in your neck) can affect brain function in people whose IBD is in remission. Researchers want to understand if this stimulation might help reduce inflammation or improve symptoms in the future.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation applied to the scalp (a non-invasive procedure) can reduce diarrhea and belly pain in people with diarrhea-predominant IBS. The goal is to see if this brain-based treatment can improve your symptoms.
This study tests two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques—transcranial static field stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation—to see if they can improve symptoms like pain, depression, fatigue, and memory problems in people with various neurological disorders. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help manage these symptoms.
This trial tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) with a probiotic tablet can help people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms by targeting both the brain and the gut.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve memory and thinking in people with certain inflammatory conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord.
This study tests repeated brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and related depression, and measure body/brain changes. You may be considered if you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder with enough depressive symptoms, and if recent treatments and medical safety factors fit the rules.
