Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Morning light treatment

Treatment-as-usual

Arm Description

A 1 hour per day morning light treatment starting at average wake time, or up to 1 hour earlier to accommodate the morning schedule. The daily treatment continues for 4 weeks.

Participants will be instructed to continue to follow their usual sleep schedule for 4 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Short IBD Questionnaire (SIBDQ) score
SIBDQ is 10 questions, each with a Likert like scale with 7 options and lower scores indicate poorer quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) score
PHQ-9 is a depression score ranging from 0 through 27. No depression 0-4, mild 5-9, moderate 10-14, moderately severe 15-19, severe 20-27.
Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance (PROMIS) Short-Form 8b
PROMIS Sleep Disturbance measures self-reported sleep quality during the past seven days. The measure includes 8-items with higher scores indicating greater sleep disturbance.
For patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) - Change in Harvey Bradshaw Index (HBI)
The HBI is a clinician-rated measure of disease severity in Crohn's disease (CD). The HBI has items addressing a range of symptoms including general well-being, abdominal pain, liquidity/softness of stool, presence of an abdominal mass and complications. The total score reflects the following: score <5 = remission, 5 to 7 = mild disease activity, 8 to 16 = moderate disease activity and >16 = severe disease activity.
For patients with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) - Change in Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI)
The SCCAI is a clinician-rated measure of disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC). The SCCAI has items addressing a range of symptoms from bowel frequency, defecation urgency, blood in stool, general well-being, and other extracolonic disease features. Scores range from 0 to 19 points, and scores < or equal to 2.5 indicate clinical remission.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This research study is testing whether changes in sleep timing and morning light treatment may have an impact on symptoms related to inflammatory bowel disease.
Detailed Description
This study will test a consumer health light therapy device (Re-Timer) for people with inflammatory bowel disease to better understand how it affects IBD-related quality of life.
