Filter by:The study aims to determine if defecation posture, when using a defecation posture modification device (DPMD), will improve ease of bowel movements in patients with pelvic organ prolapse, specifically rectoceles.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by complex interactions between genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, microbiota and host immune response. It has two main forms, Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). The main mechanism of IBD pathogenesis is dysregulated host immune response to commensal microbiota and disruption of the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in genetically predisposed individuals. Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease associated with dental biofilm resulting in the loss of periodontal supporting tissues and subsequently teeth. Although the occurrence of the disease depends on multifactorial factors, bacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor and various bacterial species found in plaque are responsible for initiating and maintaining the inflammatory and immune response in periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are known to contribute to many systemic diseases/conditions or systemic disorders are known to affect periodontal disease. Although the relationship between IBD and periodontitis is based on the potential link between oral and intestinal microbiomes and host immunoinflammatory response, the pathological interactions between the two diseases have not yet been determined. From this point of view, the aim of our study was to investigate the effect of periodontal status on serum, saliva and gingival biomarkers (TIM-3, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17) in patients with IBD and to evaluate the relationship between these values and periodontal clinical parameters. This is the first study to examine TIM-3 levels in saliva, serum and gingival samples in patients with IBD and periodontitis with IBD.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 active dose regimens of MORF-057 in adult study participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD).
This multi-center study will evaluate the safety and immune response to recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) series in 264 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive therapy recruited from 6 study sites who can expect to be on study for up to 14 months.
This is a randomized comparative clinical trial carried out to compare between laser ablation and surgery in treating anal diseases in inflammatory bowel diseases patients and find out if one is superior to the other. Inflammatory bowel diseases patients with anal problems were divided into 2 groups, one group had traditional surgery and the other had laser ablation for anal diseases and results were compared between the 2 groups.
The goal of this study is to compare two formulations of Albendazole of the same dose in healthy adult participants. Researchers will compare the extent and rate to which the drug is absorbed.
The research is studying virtual reality (VR)-directed brain-gut behavioral therapy (BGBT) as a pain treatment option for hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study is being done to learn if VR-directed BGBT is feasible and acceptable for patients with IBD in addressing pain in the hospital setting. The study hypothesizes that: - At least 75% of enrolled participants will complete the VR-directed BGBT inpatient program - Hospitalized patients with IBD will find VR-directed BGBT acceptable as a pain treatment option in the inpatient setting.
The aim of this observational study is to identify the social and demographic determinants of fatigue in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in remission. Secondly, the objectives of the study are to: - Assess the impact of fatigue on the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease in remission. - To determine the profile of patients with inflammatory bowel disease in remission who are fatigued. To this end, during a consultation or hospitalization, participants will be asked to respond independently to various questionnaires (FACIT-F, DIPCare, SSQ6, questionnaire on socio-demographic determinants and IBD disk). Characteristics of the type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease will be collected from medical records. There will be no patient follow-up as part of the study. Participants may be contacted by telephone by the center's investigator within 2 weeks of the interview in the event of a partial or imprecise response.
The goal of this interventional study is to test the feasibility of a new communication tool, call MyIBD, in youth ages 13 to 19 years with inflammatory bowel disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is the MyIBD communication tool feasible to use in everyday clinical practice? - Does the MyIBD tool have potential to improve patients' self-management skills and the quality of care they receive? Participants who receive the MyIBD intervention will complete surveys about their care at three times points - at study enrollment, at 6 months, and at 12 months. The surveys will help the research team learn about the feasibility of using MyIBD in practice and about any effects on patients' self-management skills and quality of care. Researchers will compare those receiving a MyIBD document to a randomly selected control group (patients receiving usual care for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease) to see if self-management skills and quality of care differ between the groups.
Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), impose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems due to their chronic nature and complex treatment. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of on-demand telemonitoring, as opposed to standard fixed-schedule telemonitoring, in managing IBD. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of on-demand telemonitoring on the number of persistent flares over 12 months. The study involves a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing standard telemonitoring, which includes regular completion of the Monitor IBD At Home questionnaire and fecal calprotectin home tests, with on-demand telemonitoring where patients use the app based on their symptoms. The study population includes adult patients with stable remission on maintenance therapy. Disease activity, measured by unplanned healthcare contacts, is the primary outcome, while secondary outcomes encompass clinical and patient-reported disease activity, quality of life, self-efficacy, patient activation, total healthcare contacts, safety, and costs. Baseline characteristics include patient, disease, and socio-demographic factors. This innovative approach has the potential to enhance patient autonomy, satisfaction, and self-management, while reducing the overall burden on the healthcare system.
