Biofeedback-Enhanced Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy Delivered Virtually to Youth With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This pilot study supports the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual, group-based HRV biofeedback-enhanced coping skills intervention for youth with IBD. Preliminary efficacy was demonstrated for reducing psychological and physical symptoms. Future research should evaluate efficacy in a larger, more diverse sample with elevated baseline psychological symptoms.
