Fatigue in inflammatory bowel disease: a practical guide for gastroenterology clinicians

Fatigue is one of the most common and disabling symptoms reported by patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet it often remains under-recognised and difficult to manage in routine clinical practice. In this episode of the Frontline Gastroenterology podcast, Trevor Tabone speaks with Dr Danso, Prof Hart, and Dr Moulton about their recent work exploring the mechanisms, assessment, and management of fatigue in IBD. The discussion focuses on practical clinical approaches, overlapping contributors such as sleep disturbance and psychological factors, and how clinicians can better address fatigue as part of holistic IBD care.
