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 uses an automated system to help manage care for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at UT Southwestern. It aims to see if this digital tool can improve treatment and follow-up for patients already taking IBD medications.
This trial tests new therapies for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It may help if your standard treatments aren't working well enough.
This trial tests a structured IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) management program that includes incentives to help people follow care plans. It aims to improve patients’ quality of life by supporting ongoing education and follow-up.
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 tests whether people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be safely monitored from home instead of visiting the hospital every few months. It uses a smartphone app and home tests to check your condition, with fewer in-person visits.
This trial tests whether using a remote monitoring app (GutyCare) helps people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis better manage their condition when starting or changing advanced therapy. Participants will either use the app or receive standard care to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
