Study Summary

This trial is investigating the use of virtual reality therapy for patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are in the hospital. The goal is to see if this type of therapy is feasible and well-received for managing

Who is the study for?
This trial is for hospitalized patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are interested in trying a new pain treatment. The study will test if a Virtual Reality (VR)-directed therapy can help manage their pain while they're in the hospital.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The intervention being studied is a VR-directed brain-gut behavioral therapy (BGBT). It's designed to see if using VR technology can be an effective way to treat pain for IBD patients during their hospital stay.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive virtual reality therapy, there may not be typical medication side effects. However, participants might experience discomfort from wearing the VR headset or motion sickness.
