Overview

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and self-reported pain
  • Hospitalized for management of IBD (inpatient medicine services at Michigan Medicine)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients that do not report pain
  • Anticipated length of hospital stay is less than 72 hours
  • Patients that have previously had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition
  • Patients with binocular vision loss
  • Patients with an uncontrolled cardiac condition such as an arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, or neurological/cerebrovascular disease.
  • Patients that are currently pregnant

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
