The Impact of Circadian Misalignment on Colonic Barrier Homeostasis in Ulcerative Colitis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 7-day sleep lab for Ulcerative Colitis. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if circadian malalignment (unusual sleeping patterns), such as night shifts (sleeping during the day and being awake during the night time), worsens the inflammation of the gut. We hope to look at patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Healthy Controls.
