Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Adult outpatients (18 years and older) that carry a diagnosis of IBD and confirmed in the electronic health record (EHR) as receiving IBD-targeted treatment
  • IBD-targeted treatment include 5-aminosalicylates, thiopurines, biologics, or small molecules such as Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK) inhibitors or sphingosine-1-receptor modulators.
  • Self-report abdominal pain with an average severity ≥ 2 on a 0-10 pain scale over the last 24 hours,
  • Participants are willing and able to pick-up and drop-off VR equipment at University of Michigan (UM)

Exclusion

  • Patients that do not report pain (i.e., score\<2) as they are less likely to benefit from VR-directed BGBT
  • Patients with a history of conditions that could potentially be harmed by VR including seizures/epilepsy, loss of awareness, binocular vision loss, current pregnancy, or uncontrolled cardiac (e.g., arrhythmia, coronary artery disease) or neurological/cerebrovascular disease.
