Myoelectric GutPrint-Crohn's Disease
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03774485
Purpose
A feasibility study for assessing and recording myoelectric activity in patients for early
detection of flare in patients with Crohn's disease and differentiating the myoelectric
signals from Crohn's disease patients in remission state and healthy controls.
Official Title
Longitudinal Study of Myoelectric GutPrint of Healthy Controls and Crohn's Disease Patients During Flare and Remission

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects above the age of 18 who are able to
give consent and follow direction.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients or subjects under the age of 18, pregnant, and those unable to give consent
or follow direction.
- Healthy subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms or history of gastrointestinal
surgeries.
- Patients with severe Crohn's disease due to complexity of disease, complication, and
potential needs for surgery.
- Patients with bowel surgeries due to potential impact on the G-Tech results. For
similar reasons we will exclude patients on new medications (e.g. within 3 months of
enrollment) known to alter GI motility but we will not exclude patients on stable
doses or chronic GI motility agents as this mimics "real world" in which the G-Tech
patch will be used and we can learn the stability of the motility recordings over time
in stable patients.
