Ulcerative colitis, sacral nerve stimulation
Brief summary
Although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is stable in North American and European countries, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing in newly industrialized countries, especially in China. The treatment drugs for ulcerative colitis include 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents. The aim of this exploratory Clinical Trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in the Mayo score at week 12 | 12 weeks | Mayo score at 12 week minus the Mayo score at baseline. The range of Mayo score is 0-12, and higher scores mean worse outcome. |
