NCT05760729

Brief Summary

The aim is to evaluate the presence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This will be done by cognitive tests. Along them, screening for depression, anxiety and stress will be done. A blood sample for determining serum values of homocysteine, protein S100-B, amyloid and BDNF will be stored. Patients will be followed-up for 2 years.
