Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Patients will be excluded from the study if they do not have biopsy-proven CD, have a known seizure disorder, if symptoms are thought to represent an organic disorder, those with visual or hearing impairments, if symptoms represent a known pelvic floor disorder, if the patient is using opioids, has significant ongoing psychological distress (HAD score \> 11 for either anxiety or depression), or if the patient can not actively participate in the study for any other reason (e.g., inability to understand English as the VR program as an English only).
Who the study is looking for
- Patients with a diagnosis of endoscopically and histologically confirmed CD with evidence of C-reactive protein \< 5 mg/dL and fecal calprotectin \< 150microg/g who also report any abdominal pain at least weekly will be included.
