Steroid-induced Mood Changes in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Prednisone for Inflammatory Bowel Disease 11. Completed, enrolled 53 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Steroid is commonly used to treat autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis). However, its use is associated with numerous systemic side-effects, including diabetes, osteoporosis, and potentially significant mood changes. The investigators wish to determine how common patients with inflammatory bowel disease experience mood changes when they take steroid for their disease.
