NCT03774485

Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Myoelectric activity pattern (physiological parameters)

    Myoelectric activity pattern in Crohn's disease patients versus healthy controls

    change from baseline at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after recruitment

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of anticipated Adverse Events

    Up to 6 days

  • Number of unanticipated adverse device effects

    Up to 6 days

Study Arms (3)

Healthy controls

Record gastrointestinal motility by G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device in healthy controls. The investigator does not change the routine medical care of study participants.

Device: G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device

Crohn's disease (remission state)

Record gastrointestinal motility by G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device in subjects with Crohn's disease (remission state). The investigator does not change the routine medical care of study participants.

Device: G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device

Crohn's disease (flare state)

Record gastrointestinal motility by G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device in subjects with Crohn's disease (flare state). The investigator does not change the routine medical care of study participants.

Device: G-Tech Gutcheck Myoelectric recording device

Interventions

Three G-Tech patches are placed on the abdomen of the patient to record myoelectric activity.

Also known as: Gastro-intestinal electrical recording
Crohn's disease (flare state)Crohn's disease (remission state)Healthy controls

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Healthy subjects without gastrointestinal symptoms or history of gastrointestinal surgeries. Patients with Crohn's disease in remission state or flare state (exclude severe Crohn's disease due to complexity of disease, complication, and potential needs for surgery; on new medications 【e.g. within 3 months of enrollment】 known to alter GI motility or bowel surgeries due to potential impact on the G-Tech results)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with Crohn's disease and healthy subjects above the age of 18 who are able to give consent and follow direction.

You may not qualify if:

  • 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.
