The Assessment of Infrared Treatment for Crohn's Disease
An Exploratory Clinical Trial for the Assessment of Infrared Treatment for Crohn's Disease
About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of far Infra-red (fIR) therapy in Crohn's disease patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is infrared therapy safe for treating Crohn's disease patients? 2. Is infrared therapy effective for treating Crohn's disease? Participants will be asked to attend 10 treatments of fIR therapy, provide stool and blood samples and answer questionnaires. Researchers will compare between 4 treatments: three intensities of fIR therapy and placebo treatment to explore which intensity is most effective for treating Crohn's disease.
