Your sleep could warn of an IBD attack
NCT ID NCT05835973
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 216 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are in remission. They wear a wrist monitor and fill out sleep questionnaires for one year to see if changes in sleep quality can predict when a flare-up will happen. The goal is to find early warning signs of relapse.
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 sleep changes reliably predict IBD flares, doctors could monitor sleep to catch relapses early and adjust treatment sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find no clear link between sleep and flares, or the results may not apply to all patients.
