First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a small device placed under the skin near the tailbone that sends mild signals to a nerve, aiming to reduce sudden bowel urgency in people with ulcerative colitis. About 137 adults with the condition will take part. The device is implanted in a same-day procedure, and the main goal is to see if it lowers urgency scores after 12 weeks.
