Precision Pain Self-Management in Young Adults With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Conditions studied: Irritable Bowel Syndrome

In brief

This pilot project will provide foundational information about the contextual factors of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) related pain (pain catastrophizing, perceived stress, reactivity pain sensitivity, genetic and microbiome) on pain self-management (SM) process and outcomes. In addition, the investigators will gain insight on the potential impact of the personalized IBS-pain SM approach on pain SM behaviors and health outcomes.
