Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes swelling and sores to develop inside the large intestine. You may have stomach pain and cramping, an increase in urgent bowel movements, and see blood in your stool, on toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl.
Some people have long periods without symptoms, while others experience relapses, or periods of time during the year when symptoms are more active.
- We are looking for volunteers to take part in clinical trials to understand the condition and help find new treatments
- Synexus can also help with transport to and from one of our clinics or reimburse reasonable travel expenses.
All Synexus clinical trials are reviewed an independent ethics committee and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
