Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness of an online mindfulness-based intervention (MIND4IBD) designed for adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experiencing psychological distress, compared to a wait-list control group.
- The method involved 50 adults with IBD being split into two groups: one receiving the intervention consisting of six weekly 15-minute videos, and the other on a wait-list, with the feasibility assessed through recruitment and retention rates.
- Results showed that while the intervention group had a 48% retention rate, acceptability was high with a satisfaction score of 83/100, and the intervention significantly improved mindfulness levels when compared to the wait-list group.
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD) are common disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI). The Rome IV criteria are the gold standard for research when diagnosing DGBI. However, bothersomeness, or the degree to which symptoms are distressing or disruptive to a person's daily life, is a potential treatment-seeking motivator that is not assessed by the Rome criteria.

Background: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is typically managed with anti-inflammatory analgesics and opioids; however, these do not adequately manage the pain or address the associated negative impact on quality of life. Hypnotherapy has been found to reduce pain associated with a range of disorders, including some with symptoms of chronic pain.
Aim: The aim of this review is to systematically scope research investigating the use of hypnosis on chronic pelvic pain, quality of life, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
