The results of a systematic review that explored the impact of different coping strategies for people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.Mar 14 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent review article published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, researchers summarized the results of a systematic review that explored the impact of different coping strategies for people living with inflammatory bowel disease .
As many as four in 10 IBD patients show no response to biological therapy, though patient education regarding risk factors can improve the management of the disease. This could include actively monitoring the disease and its symptoms to identify triggers, changes, and patterns. However, becoming overly focused on monitoring can increase stress.
Individuals may experience reduced psychological resilience after being diagnosed with IBD, but mindfulness can be an effective form of therapy. In another study, people with UC were more likely to cope by modifying meal content, sleeping more, and seeking medical care. Cognitive behavioral therapy has also been shown to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, while interventions focusing on mind-body relaxation additionally improved symptoms and reduced expression of genes directly linked to inflammatory processes.
