Abdominally Targeted Management Exercises for Crohn's Disease Patients (TAME-CD)
Sponsor: Shmuel Kivity, MD
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if abdominally targeted exercises can assist to manage disease activity in Crohn disease (CD) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does abdominally targeted exercises can improve the quality of life of CD patients. Does abdominally targeted exercises positively influence clinical and biological responses in CD patients. Researchers will compare performing sets of special physical exercises designed for CD patients, compared to a control set of exercises ("generic" physical activity) to see if exercises designed for CD can result in an improved quality of life, in CD patients suffering from mild to moderate disease activity. Participants will: * Perform physical exercises designed for CD or control set of exercises every day for 8 weeks. * Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for doctor visit, blood and stool test and filling out questionnaires.
