Development of Integrative Medicine Therapy for gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases: a study protocol for a registry study

摘要

Background: Although the incidence of autoimmune diseases (AD) increases every year, there is no effective therapy for it yet. This causes high medical costs to be spent on the management of autoimmune patients every year. The aim of this study is to identify the characteristics related to the causes and symptoms of gastrointestinal AD by collecting patients' information and to further contribute to the development of an integrative medicine therapy for gastrointestinal AD.
