Abstract

Despite relevance to pain chronicity, disease burden, and treatment, mechanisms of pain perception for different types of acute pain remain incompletely understood in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Building on experimental research across pain modalities, we herein addressed behavioral and neural correlates of visceral versus somatic pain processing in women with quiescent ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as a patient control group, and healthy women (HC).
