Crohn's Disease Treatments
Crohn's Disease Treatment Options
We have extensive experience successfully caring for patients with some of the most complex forms of Crohn's disease. This depth of expertise gives us a unique ability to deliver innovative treatments that can make a difference in your quality of life, such as new uses for existing medications.
Currently, there is no cure for Crohn's disease. The goal of treatment is to help control your symptoms.
Your treatment may include:
Crohn's Disease Treatment: Medication
Taking medications can prevent your immune system from attacking healthy tissue in your digestive tract. You may need to take additional medications to control specific symptoms, such as steroids to reduce inflammation. We will prescribe a medication regimen that meets your needs.
Crohn's Disease Treatment: Medical Nutrition Therapy
Certain foods can make your symptoms worse. At the Digestive Health Center, our dedicated nutritionists specialize in helping patients with Crohn's disease avoid trigger foods. This can help reduce your symptoms, replace lost nutrients and help your intestines heal. Learn more about our Digestive Health Center and GI Nutrition Services.
Crohn's Disease Treatment: Surgery
Some people with Crohn's disease need surgery to remove diseased segments of their intestines (resection). The surgery does not cure Crohn's disease, but it can help relieve your symptoms.
Crohn's Disease Treatment: Bowel Rehabilitation and Transplant
We offer innovative therapies to help your body get the nutrients it needs when your intestines are no longer able to absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. Learn more about our Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Program.
Clinical Trials for Crohn's Disease
Our specialists are working on number of clinical trials to improve treatments for IBD.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
