This research study is testing whether traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic tools—like tongue imaging, pulse diagnosis, and special questionnaires—can help identify and understand inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will compare people with IBD to healthy volunteers without the condition, and they'll also analyze tongue coating samples to look for patterns that might predict how the disease will progress.
Doctors want to find new ways to identify and predict how inflammatory bowel disease will behave in different patients. This study explores whether traditional Chinese medicine approaches might offer useful information that could help with earlier detection and better understanding of disease patterns.
