Abstract in brief

  • The study found that one year of indigo naturalis treatment is effective in inducing and maintaining remission, mucosal healing, and histological healing in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.
  • The rates of clinical remission were around 67-76% at various time points, with mucosal healing rates reaching 70% at week 52; adverse events occurred in about 51% of patients, including some severe cases.
  • The treatment did not significantly change the mucosal microbial composition, indicating that its beneficial effects might not be due to altering gut bacteria, although safety concerns due to adverse events should be carefully considered.]
