About this study

Official title: Role of Intestinal Ultrasound in Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Correlation to Endoscopic Findings

The aim of this article is to provide an extensive overview of the actual role of bowel ultrasound in the detection and follow-up of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease

Read the detailed description

The inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic bowel disorder; it can involve the whole gastrointestinal tract, but its localization in the ileum or colon is most common. The reference standard for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease is ileocolonoscopy with histologic assessment. Dan Carter, Lior H. Katz, Eytan Bardan, Eti Salomon, Shulamit Goldstein, Shomron Ben Horin, Uri Kopylov, and Rami Eliakim The reference standard for the detection of any complications is surgery. However, imaging techniques have an important role both in the detection/localization of C D and in the followup of C D patients. In the last few years, the technical development of ultrasound equipment, the advent of new technologies such as elastography and mostly the increased expertise of sonographers have boosted the role of bowel ultrasound in assessment of the gastrointestinal tract. In fact, bowel ultrasound is particularly attractive thanks to its widespread availability, non-invasiveness, low cost and good reproducibility, as it can be easily repeated during follow-up Clara Benedetta Conti , Mariangela Giunta , Daniele Gridavilla , Dario Conte , Mirella Fraquelli . Bowel ultrasound has become the first-line imaging technique for patients with suspected C rohn's disease because it is cheap ,less radiation effect ,it can be done more than one time for follow up these patient . Some signs, for example, bowel loop elasticity (i.e., the capability of the bowel wall to collapse on the bowel lumen and return to the original size and shape after manual compression and decompression) and compressibility at probe contact and peristalsis (usually impaired), are not specific, whereas other signs, such as the characteristics of the bowel wall, are more specific. Among the latter, the most important sign is bowel wall thickening (BWT) . Also important are bowel wall echo pattern characteristics (BWP) , the presence of any margin irregularity and the grade of vascularity at echo color Doppler or power Doppler . Other yet less frequent signs are the luminal alterations, such as the distension or any luminal stenosis. Other possible findings outside the bowel loop are mesenteric hypertrophy , enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes and free fluid in the abdominal cavity or among the bowel loops .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • UltraSoundDevice

    we use prob that admit some of radiation to patient to see the organs inside the abdomen

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. comparison of ultrasound findings with endoscopic findings

    analysis of ultrasound findings in patient and test if it can diagnose the different types of inflammatory bowel disease

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact shrouk gad (01028565525, shroukgad863@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparison of ultrasound findings with endoscopic findings (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05223452, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2022.
