UPDATE OF THE THERAPEUTICS OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE (IBD). OTHER THERAPIES. THIRD PART.

Abstract

Inflammatory Bowel Disease comprises a bundle of chronic pathologies that are characterised by inflammation throughout the digestive tract, it currently has no known definitive cure even though it affects a more significant population every day. Most strategies for its treatment focus on reducing inflammation, as small molecules and biological drugs do. There are other complementary therapies such as fecal microbiota transplantation, stem cell transplantation, selective granulocyte and monocyte apheresis, nutritional management and certain surgical interventions that can be carried out at the same time as traditional medicine or when its objectives are not achieved. These therapies use different mechanisms and contribute to the relief of the symptoms or even modify the course of the disease itself.
