Filter by:Both single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and novel motorized spiral enteroscopy (NMSE) are effective techniques for small bowel endoscopy in suspected Crohn's disease (CD). Small bowel endoscopy is indicated for confirming diagnosis when CD is suspected based on clinical features along with cross-sectional small bowel imaging (computed tomography enterography/enteroclysis: CTE or magnetic resonance enterography/enteroclysis: MRE) or capsule endoscopy (CE). It not only helps in diagnosing CD, but it also helps in excluding CD, diagnosing alternate conditions and taking a surgical decision if a tight stricture is found. The pilot study done by the investigators in 177 suspected CD patients (37.2% female, 7-75 years) undergoing total 201 device assisted enteroscopy (DAE) showed that NMSE scores over SBE with regards to small bowel evaluation with complete small bowel coverage and shorter procedure time. The investigators aim to validate this findings by comparing technical performance and diagnostic yield between NMSE (Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan) and SBE (Olympus Medical Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) for small bowel evaluation. Additionally the investigators plan to compare depth of insertion, total enteroscopy rates, procedure time, adverse event rates between the two modalities. To date, no study has compared both modalities in suspected Crohn's disease (CD) requiring small bowel evaluation in a randomized manner. Hence the investigators intend to perform a randomized controlled study based on these preliminary finding with appropriate matching and parallel study design in larger numbers.
The use of mesenchymal stem cells is considered a novel and promising therapeutic option for patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease. However, due to limited clinical data, this multicentre, nationwide study aimed to assess its clinical efficacy in closing complex anal fistula.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ustekinumab in achieving clinical remission in pediatric participants (greater than or equal to [>=] 2 to less than [<] 18 years and weight >= 40 kilograms [kg] at baseline).
For patients with Crohn's diseases undergoing surgery，whether postoperative exclusive enteral nutrition(EEN) could delay the endoscopic relapse needs exploration.The trial will investigate the efficacy of postoperative EEN for maintaining disease remission.
Patients with crohn's disease often suffer significant limitations to their quality of life, which are also conditioned by particular stress and psychosocial accompanying symptoms of the disease. A multimodal program for stress-reduction and lifestyle-modification has been shown to be effective in promoting the quality of life in patients with uncreative colitis. The study will examine the promotion of the quality of life of patients with crohn's disease and the positive Influence on stress, psychological symptoms and physiological parameters.
Researchers want to understand if a combination of usual medical care along with a wellness program designed for women with Inflammatory Bowel Disease diagnosis will have an effect on quality of life, stress, and disease activity.
Retrospective observational cohort study including patients with Crohn's Disease undergoing minimally invasive ileocolic resection.
The European guidelines currently recommend to use 2 L of polyethylene glycol and free residue diet before any capsule endoscopy. However, up to now, no studies have been conducted to specifically evaluate bowel preparation modalities before small bowel capsule endoscopy in patients with Crohn's disease. In patients with Crohn's disease and small bowel ulcers, polyethylene glycol may remove some fibrin from these ulcers and alter bowel preparation. Moreover, it is important to select the most acceptable bowel preparation because patients with Crohn's disease will have to repeat capsule endoscopy several times after initiating treatment, for monitoring under treatment, or for detection of post-operative recurrence. In a preliminary retrospective study, it has been suggested that a simplified bowel preparation with liquid diet the evening before and water on the morning of the capsule endoscopy induced a better bowel preparation than the standard method with polyethylene glycol. Thus, the aim of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of this simplified bowel preparation compared to the standard preparation modality in terms of quality of bowel preparation, patient's acceptability and diagnostic yield.
The study series consists of three studies with the aim to assess the incidence, prevalence, risk factors, comorbidities and management of patients with alopecia areata in Czech Republic based on the patients and registry of a dermatology clinic of a metropolitan hospital.
This will be a single centre, Phase 1, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Doubleblind, SAD & MAD Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and PK of HM201 in Healthy Subjects.
