NCT ID NCT07314151

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study explores how traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic tools, such as tongue and pulse analysis, can help identify clinical features of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Researchers will compare 30 IBD patients with 30 healthy volunteers, analyzing tongue-coating metabolites and other health data. The goal is to better understand IBD and potentially improve diagnosis and monitoring, not to test a treatment.
