Our Study

People living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can feel very tired, even when their condition is well controlled. Around half of people with IBD experience ongoing exhaustion or low energy, often described as fatigue which affects multiple areas.

There is still limited research into how fatigue affects children and young people with IBD.

PINPOINT-Fatigue aims to better understand how fatigue affects the daily lives of children and young people aged 8 to 17 years who are living with IBD, as well as the experiences of their families.

Researchers will use a combination of questionnaires, interviews, and group discussions to gain a deeper understanding of fatigue, its effect on daily life, and how it is currently managed by children and young people, their families, and their medical team.
