Crohn's Patients' voices heard in new symptom study
NCT ID NCT07441629
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will interview 15 adults with stricturing Crohn's disease to learn which symptoms matter most to them and what early warning signs they notice. Researchers hope to use this information to create a better clinical assessment score. Participants will have a one-hour interview, either in person or by video, and can review their own transcript.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better tools for doctors to assess and monitor stricturing Crohn's disease, improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage qualitative study with only 15 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test any treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient (≥ 18 years old). * With a confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease. * Presenting a stricturing form of the disease (confirmed clinically, endoscopically, radiologically, or surgically). * Followed in a hospital department managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). * Clinically stable at the time of the interview (not experiencing an acute episode requiring urgent hospitalization). * Able to understand and speak French, in order to participate in a qualitative interview. Exclusion Criteria: * Current hospitalization for a severe Crohn's disease flare, acute intestinal obstruction, or any situation requiring urgent medical care. * Severe cognitive impairment, communication deficits, or acute psychiatric disorder preventing understanding of the interview or reliable expression of experiences. * Major uncontrolled medical comorbidity (e.g., active cancer under treatment, severe heart failure) making the interview inappropriate or likely to confound symptom interpretation. * Technical inability to participate in an interview (no access to the proposed modalities: unable to travel, no access to videoconference if a remote interview is required). * Pregnant women * Persons deprived of their liberty * Persons receiving psychiatric care * Persons admitted to a healthcare or social institution * Adults subject to a legal protection measure * Persons unable to express their consent
