VR Therapies for IBD (NCT07590518)
AI-Enhanced Virtual Reality Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Quality of Life in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Multicenter Pilot and Feasibility Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Through a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), the aim is to test the clinical impact and feasibility of a AI-enhanced Virtual Reality (VR) Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) program versus distraction VR among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and anxiety. It is hypothesized that using VR/AI CBT may reduce anxiety and IBD symptoms, leading to improved overall physical, psychological, and social functioning when compared to distraction VR.
