Summary

This trial aims to see if patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) have better outcomes and feel more empowered if they can communicate with their clinical team through text messages and have their symptoms monitored

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or other forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Participants should be willing to complete online surveys and receive educational content via text messages. The eligibility criteria are not fully listed here.
What is being tested?
The study tests if regular text-based symptom monitoring and communication with the clinical team can improve disease management in IBD patients compared to those only receiving educational texts. It also explores how social factors affect IBD symptoms and life quality.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves education and digital communication rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects expected from participating in this study.
