| Core Tip |
Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affecting nearly half of all patients and three-fourths with active disease. Its origins are multifactorial, involving inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, sleep issues, psychological factors, gut microbiota, muscle dysfunction, and inactivity. Identifying and addressing these factors is key to management. The IBD fatigue and functional assessment in chronic illness therapy - fatigue scales are common assessment tools for adults, with PedsQL for pediatric patients. Management involves physical exercise, medical or surgical management of active disease, correcting nutritional deficiencies, and addressing psychological and sleep disorders. Persistent fatigue may require physical and psychological interventions through a multidisciplinary approach. |
