Summary

This early study tests whether stimulating a nerve in the lower back (sacral nerve stimulation) can safely reduce symptoms of ulcerative colitis. It includes 15 adults whose colitis is moderate-to-severe and hasn't improved with standard drugs. The main goal is to see if the treatment lowers the Mayo score (a measure of disease activity) after 12 weeks.
