Abstract

The abdominal pain common in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients is traditionally associated with inflammation but may persist during clinical remission. Central sensitisation (CS) has never been explored in these patients. This study aimed to determine the epidemiology of pain in IBD patients and to specify pain characteristics with special attention to CS.
