Plastic particles and Crohn's disease study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles in the body are linked to Crohn's disease. It compares levels of these particles in people with and without Crohn's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people with Crohn's disease that is hard to treat. It aims to understand the disease better and see how well current treatments work.
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 study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (called microplastics) are found in the guts of children with and without inflammatory bowel disease. By analyzing samples taken during a routine endoscopy, researchers hope to learn if these particles might play a role in the disease.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) are present in the bowel and if they are more common in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If you are having bowel surgery for any reason, your tissue sample may be studied to help answer this question.
This study looks at how plastics and toxins in the environment might affect inflammation in the gut, especially in pregnant women with Crohn's disease and their families. It will help doctors understand if these chemicals play a role in bowel inflammation during pregnancy.
This study looks at proteins from your body and gut bacteria to understand Crohn's disease better. You may join if you are about to have your first colonoscopy for suspected Crohn's and have not had any treatment yet.
