Virtual Reality (VR) -Directed Brain Gut Behavioral Treatment (BGBT) for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Inpatients

Evaluation of a Virtual Reality-Directed Brain Gut Behavioral Treatment Inpatient Program for Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Sponsor

University of Michigan

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Feb 13, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Summary

The research is studying virtual reality (VR)-directed brain-gut behavioral therapy (BGBT) as a pain treatment option for hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study is being done to learn if VR-directed BGBT is feasible and acceptable for patients with IBD in addressing pain in the hospital setting. The study hypothesizes that: * At least 75% of enrolled participants will complete the VR-directed BGBT inpatient program * Hospitalized patients with IBD will find VR-directed BGBT acceptable as a pain treatment option in the inpatient setting.

Interventions

DEVICEVirtual reality-directed BGBT

Enrolled participants will receive up to 3-days of VR-directed BGBT through several modules including distraction games, mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, and cognitive behavioral therapy based coaching. Participants will complete questionnaires at various time points and be asked to complete a semi-structured interview post-intervention.
