- About 150 participants are expected to take part.
- Start date: 2025-01-01 (planned).
- Main results expected around 2026-09-30 (estimate from the record).
- No study sites are listed yet. Check the official record for contact details.
Main thing being measured
- The capability and accuracy of hand-held ultrasound machines to detect bowel wall inflammatory activity and complications in CD patients. (fro enrollmeent to the end of the study at 2 years)
In the researchers’ words
One of the major obstacles in implementing intestinal ultrasound services for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients relates to the costs of acquiring ultrasound (US) machines. The costs of high-end (and higher levels of quality) US machines are considerable, and although large medical centers in developed countries can obtain US machines, smaller centers in rural areas, community centers and centers in…
