Evaluation of the Efficacy and Tolerability of an Exclusion Diet in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

The JIA-ED study is a pilot project. Based on experience in another inflammatory disease, a 4-week period was extrapolated as sufficient to assess the effectiveness of the experimental intervention. This observation is supported by literature data showing that, halfway through phase I of the CDED (Crohn Diseasse Exclusion Diet), it is already possible to identify a subset of patients with Crohn's disease who are responsive to the dietary treatment and who also have a higher likelihood of achieving clinical remission by the end of the first phase of the diet itself.
