About this study

The research is studying virtual reality (VR)-directed brain-gut behavioral therapy (BGBT) as a pain treatment option for hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study is being done to learn if VR-directed BGBT is feasible and acceptable for patients with IBD in addressing pain in the hospital setting. The study hypothesizes that: * At least 75% of enrolled participants will complete the VR-directed BGBT inpatient program * Hospitalized patients with IBD will find VR-directed BGBT acceptable as a pain treatment option in the inpatient setting.
