About this trial
Ulcerative colitis is a long-lasting condition that causes swelling and sores in the large intestine. This study tests whether a small device placed under the skin can help reduce bowel urgency in people with ulcerative colitis. The investigational device sends mild signals to a nerve near the tailbone. It is placed during a same-day procedure.
