Summary

This pilot study will test a 24-week digital self-management program designed to help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) manage their symptoms and build long-term healthy habits. The program is accessed via web or mobile device and is used alongside standard care. The study will enroll 40 adults with active IBD and impaired quality of life to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Digital self-management program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer a practical way for people with IBD to better manage their symptoms and improve their daily quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (40 people) focused on feasibility, not on proving the program works. It may not show clear benefits or be generalizable to all IBD patients.
