NCT ID NCT07338565
First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study from Aarhus University is looking at how common magnesium deficiency is in people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ileostomy, or bile acid diarrhea. Magnesium is important for muscles, nerves, and heart health, but standard blood tests may miss a deficiency. The researchers will compare different ways to measure magnesium levels, including blood cells and muscle tissue, to find the best method. 120 adults will take part, and the goal is to improve detection and treatment of this often-overlooked problem.
