Thermal Measurements of the Gut With a Colonoscope Compatible Thermal Probe
Colonoscopic Investigation of the Correlation Between Bowel Wall Inflammation and Luminal Temperature Rise in IBD
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to use a modified thermal probe to measure temperature rise in the colonic mucosa of participants with inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, and/or ulcerative colitis. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the thermal probe an effective device to use to detect temperature rise in the colonic mucosa? During the participant's standard of care colonoscopy, the thermal probe will be inserted into the colonoscope. The thermal probe is connected to a temperature transmitter that collects and saves the temperature of the colon in real time.
