NCT ID: NCT06405503 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Impact of Primary Language on Treatment and Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A thorough discussion of treatment options to manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including the risks and benefits of each class of medication, can be a complex discussion and time consuming. Having to use a translator adds an additional layer of time and complexity to these discussions as well as potential misunderstanding. Further, in addition to language, cultural differences can also play into treatment acceptance. This study aims to determine the impact of primary language on the selection of treatment for IBD and on disease outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT03239704 Not yet recruiting - Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Trials

Improving Outcomes Among Urgent Care Clinic Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Start date: December 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) refers to a category of disorders, consisting of Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), where segments of the gastrointestinal tract become inflamed and ulcerated. Canada has among the highest incidence rates of IBD in the world - 16.3 and 12.3 per 100,000 for CD and UC respectively. In the absence of a cure, the current goal of treatment is to manage patients in a milder state of remission. However, maintaining (or even achieving) remission is dependent on timely access to specialist IBD care; which in light of rising incidence rates have proven to be challenging. Moreover, patients often experience flare-ups of their gastrointestinal symptoms, while awaiting access to specialist care. In recent years, there has been increased integration of telemedicine services in gastroenterology practice. This change has been driven by a desire among IBD patients to have more flexible follow-up care, where 'virtual' care is provided as an adjunct to in-person consultations. Within the context of IBD, telemedicine might be effective in delivering routine and timely follow-up care to high-risk patients. The purpose of this study to determine whether telemedicine-based follow-up care can effectively manage the gastrointestinal symptoms of high-risk IBD patients and reduce their need for preventive health care services.

NCT ID: NCT02950779 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Assessment of Handgrip Strength in Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease, which causes inflammation of the gut. People with this disease are often poorly nourished. Problems caused by poor nutrition such as poor wound healing can be reduced if it is recognised and treated early. When people with IBD attend outpatients clinic with their IBD specialist they are weighed and their BMI calculated to indicate if they are poorly nourished. Weight and BMI may not always provide a good assessment of how well nourished a person is because it does not describe the amount of muscle in the body in proportion to fat. A person with a low or decreasing amount of muscle but a normal or high BMI is at risk of nutritional problems. Measuring the amount of muscle someone with IBD has in routine practice poses a challenge to clinicians due to time constraints. One-way of measuring the amount of muscle a person has is to measure their muscle strength. This can be measured by recording the strength of a person's handgrip. Handgrip strength can be measured using a hand-held device called a dynamometer. This study aims to test whether it is possible to measure the handgrip strength of people with IBD attending outpatient's clinic. It also aims to test how the measure obtained compares with other methods of assessing whether someone is malnourished and their health. People with a diagnosis of IBD who are aged 18 or older and who are scheduled to attend IBD outpatients clinic in one hospital will be asked to take part in the study. Their handgrip strength will be measured each time they attend clinic over a nine-month period in addition to other information about their health and nutritional state. This study forms part of a Masters in Research being undertaken with The University of Southampton.

NCT ID: NCT02828748 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Cytokine Production of Colonic Tissue From IBD Patients

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic intestinal inflammation characterizes inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which consist mainly of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The exact etiology is unknown for both diseases and therapeutic attempts aimed at down-regulating intestinal inflammation use both mediator-specific and nonspecific immune suppression. These attempts cause considerable side effects. Also, IBD patients are different in their genetic background and pathology. It was previously shown that products based on marijuana (Cannabis sativa) produce beneficial effects for patients with IBD, and medical cannabis-based products were formerly proven to have anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory experiments and in clinical tests. However, it is unknown how C. sativa-based medical products exert their effect in IBD and additional research and development should be done. One issue to be resolved in the process of medicalization of C. sativa is the base for the differences in patient response to different C. sativa lines, in order to fine-tune C. sativa -based treatment to IBD patients. For this aim of fine-tuning C. sativa -based treatment to IBD patients, we characterized the chemical composition of different C. sativa lines and their anti-inflammatory activities on colon cells lines. Extracts of C. sativa lines were prepared using various methods and cannabinoids and terpenoids profile was determined by chemical analysis. We found that different compounds have different effects on inflamed colon cell lines, leading to changes in interleukin secretion, inflammation markers and gene expression in the treated colon cells. In addition, we have developed a unique system relevant for personalized medicine in IBD. This system allows a patient-specific determination of the effect of C. sativa -based treatment. Following, clinical tests will be conducted aiming to develop cannabis-based products from different C. sativa lines, with anti-inflammatory activity that is effective and optimized for the different IBD patients.

NCT ID: NCT02709434 Not yet recruiting - Fatigue Clinical Trials

Fatigue Management in Quiescent IBD

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Fatigue is a very frequently reported symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whether it is Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). Sometimes the fatigue may be easily explained by other symptoms or tests which show that the disease is active. For example patients may be anaemic (have a low blood count) which can in itself lead to a feeling of being tired all the time. Treatment of the disease can make some of these patients feel less fatigued. However, 4 or 5 out of every 10 patients with IBD which is felt to be in remission (ie not active disease) report fatigue. This can have far-reaching implications for patients in their everyday lives, with issues around work or school, close relationships, travel and leisure being profoundly affected. The CCUK funded research on fatigue and IBD, led by Professor Christine Norton and Wladzia Czuber-Dochan at King's College London, has identified fatigue as being a significant issue facing patients and has also highlighted that few doctors offer help and support beyond treating the disease itself when active. This is partly because fatigue itself has been difficult to measure and so any study designed to treat fatigue would be limited by being unable to quantify any improvement in a meaningful way. Fortunately the King's College group have developed a 'fatigue score' which is a simple questionnaire that is able to quantify the severity of fatigue. The aim of our study is to assess the effect of a structured support and educational programme on the levels of fatigue in patients with inactive IBD who report moderate or severe levels of fatigue. A secondary component of our study is to see if there are any associations between fatigue levels and disease activity or other parameters such as quality of life, anxiety or symptoms of overlapping irritable bowel syndrome. Patients will be approached in the out-patient or telephone clinics and the study will be explained with written information and any questions will be answered. If they agree to being involved they will be asked to complete the fatigue and a number of other questionnaires in addition to having the standard assessment of symptoms, blood tests and a stool specimen. Patients with active disease will be excluded from the subsequent group interventions but the data they have provided to this point will still be helpful in our understanding of fatigue in IBD. Patients identified as being in remission following the initial assessments will be offered the opportunity to be involved in the next stage of the study. The stool samples will also be analysed for the microbiome ie which bacteria are present as some studies suggest that patients with IBD may have a reduced diversity of bacteria in their intestines. Half of this group will be randomised to active intervention and half will act as a control group for the rest of the study. The active intervention will involve completion of activity diaries over the following two weeks and then analysis of the diaries and agreement on behaviour changes designed to help fatigue. This will be supported by written information and three, monthly small group sessions to reinforce and support these changes. At the end of the study all patients will again complete the fatigue and quality of life questionnaires and have their disease activity assessed by symptom scores, blood and stool tests. The baseline results and the final results will be analysed to see if there is any improvement in fatigue in the group undergoing the programme of support and behaviour change. This is only a small pilot study but if it demonstrates that the intervention is feasible and may help with fatigue then a larger study will be performed to try and confirm our initial findings. Our ultimate aim is to find a simple intervention to empower patients to deal with the difficult task of living with IBD and the fatigue that this can bring.

NCT ID: NCT02245594 Not yet recruiting - Crohn's Disease Clinical Trials

GI Symptoms and Sleep Disturbances in Patients With Quiescent Crohns Disease

Start date: October 2014
Phase: Phase 0
Study type: Observational

In this study we would like to clarify the effect of long lasting Crohn's Disease on motility of the gastrointestinal system in patient and the effect regarding sleep disturbances. This will be done with a newly developed 3D-Motility-and-Transit-detector (Motilis Medica, Schweiz) and the well known polysomnographic equipment. Our hypothesises are: Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and gastrointestinal symptoms have abnormal colonic transit (primary endpoint). 1. Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and gastrointestinal symptoms have abnormal gastric emptying and small intestinal transit (secondary endpoints). 2. Total and segmental transit times found in patients with CD will be compared with corresponding transit times in healthy volunteers found in a previous study. 3. Patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission have abnormal sleep patterns. 4. Nocturnal basic colonic activity, have changed in patients with ileocoecal and/or colonic CD in remission and sleep disturbances.
