Brief Summary: This prospective, randomized, longitudinal, controlled project will occur in two phases. Phase 1 is the pre-diagnosis data collection for treatment-naïve participants who are referred for a diagnostic endoscopy/colonoscopy due to suspicion of IBD. Phase 2 (RCT) is only for patients who are diagnosed with IBD. These patients will be randomized to receive biofeedback intervention daily for 8 weeks or no biofeedback intervention. All participants will receive physician directed standard of care treatment.
Detailed Description: The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affects 3 million Americans. In approximately 25-30% of patients, onset of these chronic diseases occurs prior to the age of 20. Despite medical advances in new therapies, the clinical remission rate on biologics is less than 50% and a significant number of patients will lose response to anti-TNF therapy over time. In addition, patients that require a change in therapy will have a lower response rate to a different biologic. Additional therapies and mechanisms that affect disease activity need to be investigated to identify complimentary treatments that can further impact remission rates without increasing side effects such as lymphoma.

Environmental factors, such as stressor exposure, can exacerbate mucosal inflammation. Patients with IBD report a lower quality of life, as well as increased anxiety and depression. Psychological interventions may improve disease activity. This study will test, using a randomized clinical trial (RCT) design, whether biofeedback intervention will attenuate disease activity. If efficacious, this study will provide a rationale for establishing biofeedback as a complimentary therapy to standard of care to ameliorate stress-induced increases in chronic inflammation.
