Interventions

  • Feasibility of using a thermal probe to measure temperature rise in colonic mucosa — DEVICE
    10 participants in each arm will be enrolled in this study. All consented participants will receive the same intervention.

Study Details

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.
