Acupuncture point measurements in inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the physical properties of acupuncture points in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, compared to healthy people. It may help researchers understand how acupuncture could be used to help manage IBD symptoms.

This study compares different ultrasound-based scoring systems to see which is most accurate for assessing disease activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. If you have one of these conditions, participating could help improve how doctors measure disease severity without invasive tests.
This study tests if a standard ultrasound is as good as a high-end one at seeing inflammation in the gut. It could help people with IBD avoid more invasive procedures.
This study looks at how doctors diagnose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a condition that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. It may help improve diagnosis and care for people with IBD.
This study is gathering information from people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and from people without IBD. Researchers will look at samples from the colon to learn more about these conditions.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help calm an active Crohn’s disease flare that is mild to moderate. It may be an option if standard Crohn’s medicines like steroids, immunosuppressors, and anti-TNF drugs are not working for you or you can’t tolerate them.
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.
