Interventions
confocal endomicroscopy
The study incorporates confocal endomicroscopy as an additional diagnostic modality for assessing barrier dysfunction and treatment response in UC patients. Confocal endomicroscopy enables real-time visualization of mucosal changes at a cellular level during endoscopy, potentially enhancing the detection of treatment response and mucosal healing.
