Ultrasound-guided care for inflammatory bowel disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) for more than 2 months.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for an endoscopy to check how active your disease is.
- Your disease is not limited to the last part of the rectum or only around the anus.
- You have not failed biologic therapy (a type of treatment that targets the immune system).

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.
This study checks biomarkers (signals in blood and/or stool) in adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. It compares patients starting targeted medicines and looks for marker patterns that may reflect how the disease is behaving.
This trial tests a self-management program for people with active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to improve quality of life by helping you better manage your condition.
This study looks at what factors help predict how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may progress over time. You may be able to join if you are an adult with IBD and fit one of the study groups based on whether you have used TNF-blocking medicines before.
This study compares two ways for surgeons to decide where to cut the intestine during surgery for Crohn's disease. One uses an ultrasound probe during the operation, and the other uses the standard method of feeling the tissue. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance leads to better outcomes.
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.
