Why do kids with IBD avoid exercise? a new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07383844
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study interviews 60 children aged 10-17 with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis) to learn what makes it easier or harder for them to be physically active. Participants fill out two questionnaires and talk one-on-one with a researcher. No treatment or exercise program is provided—just listening to their experiences.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design better support programs to encourage physical activity in children with IBD.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 60 participants. It does not test any treatment, so it may not lead to direct changes.
