Study Summary

The goals of this study are to test the effectiveness of a virtually delivered, group-based coping skills treatment program incorporating heart rate variability biofeedback to target autonomic dysfunction in youth diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The investigators will enroll participants with IBD in a biofeedback enhanced cognitive behaviorally based coping skills treatment. Participants will be randomized to biofeedback enhanced treatment or wait-list control.

Primary Outcome

A continuous composite measure of stress, anxiety, and depression. Which will be analyzed continuously to evaluate for a significant mean difference between randomized groups at study endpoint (6-weeks). Scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater distress.
