NCT ID NCT03985800
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two team-based care models for 657 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who also had mild to severe behavioral health symptoms. One model used in-person visits with a team including a gastroenterologist, nurse, nutritionist, and mental health specialist. The other used telemedicine and digital tools instead of in-person care. The goal was to see if these approaches could reduce IBD and behavioral health symptoms and improve quality of life.

team-based care (in-person or telemedicine) with behavioral health support
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that integrated medical and behavioral health care improves symptoms and quality of life for people with IBD.
What could go wrong
This is a completed comparative effectiveness study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the interventions are complex to implement widely.
