Description
Elizabeth N. Madva leads a 2026 trial plan for a well-being program for irritable bowel syndrome, named WISH 2.0. Gut-brain therapies help bowel illness, but few use positive psychology, the craft of growing strengths and happiness. The nine-week program runs by phone, with weekly half-hour calls and written exercises. Fifty adults with the syndrome will be split evenly between the program and an education control.
Success will be judged first on finishing rates and weekly ease ratings. Bowel, mood, and habit outcomes come second, tracked to three months after. The team will also probe body paths, from heart rhythm to gene activity and immune markers. Ethics and funding were set in 2025.
