Filter by:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and lifelong disease that causes disabilities for sufferers and causes mental health disorders in the patients. For this reason, it is important to know which psychotherapy is more effective for UC patient's problems, and since no research has been done on the effectiveness of well-being therapy on the mental health problems of these patients, this research can help psychologists and other specialists in this field to help patients with UC and other chronic disease. The present study is conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of mental well-being on the mental health and quality of life of patients with ulcerative colitis. The research method was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The study population included all patients with ulcerative colitis who were previously diagnosed with ulcerative colitis by a gastroenterologist and referred to one of the gastroenterology centers for treatment. The criteria for entering the patients into the study were: definitive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis according to the opinion of a gastroenterologist, consent to participate in the study, having at least a high-school education and an age range of 18 to 60 years. The patients who were excluded from the study were: patients who have acute Psychiatric or other medical disorders , patients who have participated in counseling or psychotherapy sessions in the last six months and patients who lose motivation to participate in the interview or are absent for more than two sessions. The convenience sampling method was used. The list of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases was provided to the researcher after the consent of the head of the Digestive Disease Research Institute. 300 ulcerative colitis patients of this list were contacted according to the criteria for entering the study, and they were invited to participate in the treatment sessions after a brief explanation about the objectives of the sessions, sessions duration and time. Finally, 32 patients volunteered and were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: 16 people (9 women and 7 men) were in the well-being therapy group and 16 people (8 men and 8 women) were in the control group. In the post-test phase, one person in the study group stopped working, and in the follow-up phase, which was done 6 months later , the study did face any shortages.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ozanimod compared with placebo in participants with ulcerative colitis (UC) in mainland China and Taiwan. The main study is composed of an induction period, maintenance period, safety follow-up, and participants meeting certain criteria will be given the opportunity to participate in an optional open label extension.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses several chronic diseases of which ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) are the most representative. IBD is characterised by the presence of an inflammatory process that affects different segments of the digestive tract and has a chronic and relapsing course with flares of activity. Inflammatory activity in IBD is associated with an increase in peripheral blood activated granulocytes and monocyte-macrophages and intestinal infiltration by these inflammatory cells, which are largely responsible for tissue damage. In recent years, observational, prospective studies and meta-analyses of these studies have contributed to consider granulocytapheresis (GMA) as an effective and safe alternative in the treatment of UC. This apheresis technique is based on recirculation of the patient's blood through a circuit with cellulose acetate spheres that perform a selective elimination of granulocytes and monocyte-macrophages leading to a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecule expression, and an increase in anti-inflammatory mediators. These events in the GMA column are followed by other immunological changes, most notably a decrease in CD10+ (activated) neutrophils, leading to a compensation from the bone marrow of a CD10- (immature) neutrophil population. GMA can be considered as a therapeutic alternative in corticodependent IBD, especially in UC. In addition, it can reduce or limit the need for corticosteroids, so another possible application is as a "bridge" treatment in patients starting treatment with thiopurine immunomodulators. A beneficial effect can also be obtained by combining apheresis with biological treatments, especially after a partial response or loss of response to these treatments. Finally, some extraintestinal manifestations associated with IBD may also benefit from its use. The GRACE study is proposed for the evaluation of the efficacy of GMA with Adacolumn® under real conditions of use and according to the indications described in the instructions for use of the medical device.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
The SIMBA Capsule is a small, single-use, ingestible capsule that allows for the non-invasive sampling of small bowel contents using purely mechanical means. The study will compare the microbial and metabolomics analysis from the sample collected with the capsule series, to same-participant symptom questionnaires and stool microbial analysis.
Background There are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves. Methods Adult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method. Patients not declining reconstruction or not considered eligible for both methods will be followed as controls. The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. Discussion Reconstruction after colectomy is a morbidity-associated as well as a resource-intensive activity with the sole purpose of enhancing function, Quality of Life and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to provide the best possible information on the risks and benefits of each reconstructive treatment.
This is a randomized, controlled study evaluating diosmin tablets administered daily for 3 months. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diosmin in the treatment of mild to moderately active ulcerative colitis. Disease activity will be measured using modified truelove and witt's classification.
The primary reason of this study is to observe current and past treatment in adult participants receiving Vedolizumab, intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC), for IBD in Brazil. There is no treatment involved in this study, this is only an observational review of past and ongoing treatment data relating to Vedolizumab treatment for IBD (including Ulcerative Colitis [UC] and Crohn's Disease [CD]).
This study aims to examine patient tolerability of personalized dietary fibre consumption recommendations (high-pectin diet versus high-B-fructan diet based on personalized responses), provided by an IBD dietician, based on our novel translational research findings.
•This study will be a randomized, controlled, parallel study. .To demonstrate the efficacy of empagliflozin and clinical improvement in patients of mild to moderate UC using the Montreal classification of severity of ulcerative colitis.
