Our Evolving Understanding of Pain in IBD

Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation Perspectives

Host: Matt Birnholz, MD
Guest: Emeran Mayer, MD, PhD
There’s no organ in the body that has such close connections with the brain as the gut, which can often result in pain for many of our patients with IBD. Listen in as Dr. Emeran Mayer joins Dr. Matt Birnholz to explain this mind-gut connection, why patients with IBD experience pain, and how providers can manage patients who experience pain when inflammation is and isn't present.
