Abstract

Although various treatments help reduce abdominal pain, real-world pain medication utilization among patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) receiving advanced therapies is poorly understood. The aim is to understand the utilization of pain medication 12 months before and after the initiation of advanced therapies among patients with newly diagnosed CD or UC.
