Summary

This study tests whether adding acupuncture to the standard drug mesalazine can help people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis achieve and stay in remission. About 80 adults will receive either the combined treatment or mesalazine alone. The goal is to see if the combination improves symptoms like stool frequency and rectal bleeding, and reduces colon inflammation.
