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 trial tests whether a fecal transplant (putting healthy bacteria into your gut) combined with dietary changes can help control active Crohn's disease. It is for people who need stronger treatments or have stopped responding to their current therapy.
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 whether a specially designed anti-inflammatory American diet can help control mild to moderate Crohn's Disease symptoms. Participants will follow a diet plan, with guidance from the research team, to see if it reduces inflammation and improves quality of life.
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 looks at how brain circuits work in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who also have depression. It may help find new ways to treat both conditions together.
