What This Trial Is Studying

Abdominal pain is a common symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Up to 70 % of IBD patients experience pain when the disease is active. Even when patients with IBD are in remission, 20-50 % experience ongoing pain. The precise mechanism of developing chronic abdominal pain in patients with IBD in remission remains unknown. The aim of this study is to identify psychophysiological and biological risk factors for the development of chronic abdominal pain in patients with newly diagnosed IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). This study consists…
