Core Tip The gut-brain axis may explain why psychotherapies benefit patients with inflammatory bowel disease beyond symptom control. This meta-analysis integrates randomized evidence across disease-specific quality of life and psychological, clinical, and inflammatory outcomes. Psychotherapy shows the most consistent gains in patient-reported outcomes, particularly in the emotional and systemic quality-of-life domains, with modest improvements in anxiety and depression. In contrast, the effects on disease activity and systemic inflammatory markers are limited. These findings support psychotherapy as adjunctive inflammatory bowel disease care and underscore priorities for future trials, including standardized outcomes, longer follow-up, and gut-specific biomarkers.
