Using brain training to manage pain in ibd
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can help reduce chronic pain in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If you have IBD and ongoing muscle or joint pain that isn't caused by inflammation, this trial might help you manage pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 65 years old.
- You need to have had inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for at least 6 months.
- You should have long-lasting joint or muscle pain that is not caused by joint inflammation itself.
- Your pain level in the last week must be above 5 on a 0-10 scale.
- You must be able to read and understand this information and sign a consent form.

This study tests if using virtual reality can help manage pain for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) while they are in the hospital. It may offer a drug-free way to feel better.
This study looks at bacteria in your gut that may produce chemicals linked to ongoing pain in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, even when the disease itself is not very active. Researchers want to understand why some people still have moderate to severe abdominal pain even after their inflammation has calmed down.
This study looks at how the brain works in people who have both inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depression. It uses brain scans to understand the connection, which may help improve treatments in the future.
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can help people with rheumatoid arthritis who also have chronic widespread pain. It uses a computer to show you your brain activity and teach you to control it, which may reduce pain.
This trial tests whether a program that teaches you about pain and helps your brain control pain better can improve fibromyalgia symptoms. It also looks at how emotions play a role.
This study tests if people with fibromyalgia can learn to control their own brain activity using real-time feedback from an MRI machine to reduce pain. It is designed to help those with long-term chronic pain find new ways to manage it.
