NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Symptomatic strictures related to Crohn’s disease (CD) may respond to immunosuppressive drug therapy, with improvements in symptoms and stricture morphology, according to results of a study from Australia.
“This study shows that Crohn’s disease-associated bowel wall damage, characteristic of inflammatory strictures, is potentially reversible with drug treatment,” the study team reports in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
