Precision Pain Self-Management in Young Adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Pilot Investigators
Xiaomei Cong (PI)
Summary
The proposed pilot project will provide foundational information about the contextual factors of IBS pain (pain catastrophizing, perceived stress, reactivity pain sensitivity, genetic and microbiome) on pain SM process and outcomes. In addition, we will gain insight on the potential impact of the personalized IBS-pain SM approach on pain SM behaviors and health outcomes. The knowledge gained from this pilot study will position the PPI and her team for future work in the area of precision pain SM, using innovative methods to improve quality of life and costs of care for individuals and families with IBS pain.
