Summary
This trial investigates the use of intestinal ultrasound (IUS) in evaluating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with an ileal pouch-anal anastom
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with ulcerative colitis who have undergone a surgery called ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. It's designed to see if intestinal ultrasound can help evaluate a condition known as pouchitis and other outcomes after this procedure.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of intestinal ultrasound (IUS) as a non-invasive tool to assess disease activity in patients with UC who have had IPAA surgery, aiming to understand its effectiveness in evaluating pouchitis.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves only intestinal ultrasound, there are no significant side effects expected from this imaging technique. It's generally considered safe and painless.
