简要总结

Prospective, single-center, sham-controlled, double-blinded 12-week study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RAVANS device in subjects with Ulcerative Colitis. The goal of the study is to distinguish sham (no stimulation) versus treatment (stimulation) response and to identify treatment responders. The study will last 12 weeks with in-clinic visits at 0 weeks and 12 weeks, and a telehealth-visit at week 6. Additionally, unscheduled visits may occur based on the needs of the subject or at the discretion of the investigator. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to treatment or sham, and will stimulate at home twice per day.
