This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) provides $1,002,000 to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the clinical impact and feasibility of a virtual reality (VR) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The 8-week VR CBT program, called IBS/VR, was developed and refined by a multidisciplinary team in partnership with patients. The pilot RCT aims to acquire preliminary data on the program's impact on IBS symptoms compared to a sham VR control, as well as establish the feasibility of using the VR CBT approach. If successful, this pilot will provide a platform to undertake a larger-scale efficacy trial, helping address the significant need for effective, accessible treatments for the over 10% of the U.S. population affected by IBS.
