Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation or ulcers in the gut. Although symptoms vary from person to person, it is the unpredictability of these symptoms that affect the individual’s quality of life. Currently, there are a lot of treatment options for flare-ups. However, some medications may not work for everyone or have lost effectiveness in managing symptoms.
Research studies are crucial to helping find new treatment options for different conditions. This research study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of a potential treatment for Crohn’s disease.
