Managing Fatigue in IBD

Crohn's and Colitis UK have been awarded a £481, 242 grant by the Big Lottery Fund to undertake a project on fatigue in IBD. The 4 year research project, which began in July 2010, examines the causes of fatigue; pilots a fatigue assessment tool; and explores interventions to improve pain management in IBD.
