This clinical trial is developing a new medical device that measures how different types of nerve fibers in the body respond to sensations. The device aims to give doctors a more precise way to assess how active the inflammation is in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. By using this device, researchers hope to create a better tool for tracking disease activity and guiding treatment decisions.
Right now, doctors use several different methods to measure how much inflammation a child with IBD has, but these methods aren't always precise or consistent. This trial exists to develop a better, more direct way to measure inflammation that could help doctors treat children more effectively and adjust medications when needed.

If you join this study, your child will come in for visits where doctors will use the new medical device to measure how their nerves respond to different sensations. The device uses a technique called pupillometry (measuring the pupil of the eye) along with other sensory tests to assess inflammation. The visits are non-invasive, and the device helps gather data to improve how doctors measure and track bowel inflammation in children.
