Tracking symptoms to improve quality of life for veterans with IBD
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured approach to tracking symptoms and adjusting care (called measurement-based care) can improve quality of life for veterans with IBD. It is for veterans whose IBD symptoms affect their daily life and who receive care at one of the four participating VA hospitals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran receiving care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at one of four VA hospitals (Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Houston, or Portland).
- Your IBD-related quality of life is low, as measured by a short questionnaire (score under 60 on the SIBDQ).
- You do not have an ostomy (a bag for stool) or a surgically created internal pouch (ileal pouch).
- You do not have a serious medical condition like cancer or a history of organ transplant that could affect your health scores.
- You are willing and able to take part in the study procedures, such as completing questionnaires.

This study tests a new care program designed to help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage their condition better and improve their quality of life. If you join, you'll receive extra support and training to help you cope with your symptoms and daily life.
This trial tests if regular video check-ins via phone or computer can help people with IBD stick to their medications and feel better emotionally. You would use a messaging app and video calls to stay in touch with your care team from home.
This study compares using a mobile app (GutyCare) to track your IBD symptoms remotely versus usual care, for people starting or changing a biologic or small molecule treatment. It aims to see if remote monitoring helps manage your condition better during this important treatment change.
This study follows people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who may be taking immunosuppressants (medicines that calm the immune system). Researchers will track how the disease progresses and look at factors like gut bacteria to find ways to predict complications.
