Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review focuses on the relationship between trauma and pain in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and offers effective treatment strategies. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent evidence points to bidirectional pathways between psychiatric disorders and IBD. The impact of trauma and development of post-traumatic stress symptoms on IBD disease course is beginning to be appreciated including its relationship with pain. First-line treatments for both psychiatric and chronic pain disorders include behavioral interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis, and mindfulness, and there is emerging evidence studying Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and telehealth interventions. Pharmacological treatments using neuromodulators can also be beneficial. An integrated care team, such as a subspecialty medical home model, can provide the best patient experience and address comprehensive care needs efficiently and effectively. Psychosocial factors impact IBD course and necessitate effective management. Despite the significant limitations of research, particularly lack of clinical trials examining behavioral and pharmacotherapy interventions in IBD, effective treatments exist and are best utilized in an integrated care setting.
