Could brain zaps and diet fix Crohn's constipation?
NCT ID NCT07531342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with an anti-inflammatory diet can reduce constipation and improve quality of life in people with Crohn's disease. Fifty patients aged 40-60 will be split into two groups: one gets both rTMS and the diet, the other gets only the diet for four weeks. Researchers will measure changes in constipation severity, quality of life, and inflammatory markers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and anti-inflammatory diet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to manage constipation and improve daily life for people with Crohn's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination approach makes it hard to know which part helps most.
