The results from this study have encouraged the researchers to continue the work. They plan on conducting a double-blind study in an attempt to prove their theory. If this proves to be an effective treatment, researchers may be able to discover how the parasites suppress the immune system. They could then develop new drugs that would lessen the severity or, in some cases, prevent symptoms from recurring in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
