Intestinal ultrasound to predict Crohn's disease flare-ups
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound of the intestines can predict when Crohn's disease will flare up again in patients whose disease is currently well-controlled. If successful, doctors could catch flare-ups earlier and adjust treatment before symptoms worsen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease (confirmed by colonoscopy and biopsy)
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- Your disease is currently in deep remission (very well-controlled, few or no symptoms)
- You had a special intestinal ultrasound within one week before or after a recent colonoscopy at the study hospital
- You have complete medical records, including blood tests and imaging from around the time of your colonoscopy
- You have not changed your maintenance medication (regular daily treatment) since achieving remission

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 analyzes your gut bacteria to see if it can predict how well you will respond to Crohn's disease treatments. If you are having a colonoscopy for routine care, you may be eligible.
This study uses an intestinal ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) to check how well Crohn's disease is controlled. It may help doctors see inflammation without more invasive tests.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much damage Crohn's disease has caused in your intestines, which may help doctors track the disease without repeated scans or procedures.
This trial tests if a small, hand-held ultrasound device can detect inflammation in the bowel caused by Crohn's disease. It may offer a simpler, more accessible way to monitor the disease.
This trial compares two types of scans—MRI and ultrasound—to see how well they detect changes in Crohn's disease after treatment. If you've had one of these scans already and need another to check your response to therapy, you may be able to join.
