Cure8 trial brief
Ultra-processed foods are common in youth diets and may affect overall diet quality; this study is testing whether short, practical nutrition education can reduce UPF intake in children and teens with IBD. If effective, the approach could be an easy-to-deliver way to support healthier eating for pediatric IBD patients.
Pediatric patients with IBD and their caregivers, pediatric gastroenterology clinicians, dietitians, and researchers interested in nutrition interventions and pediatric IBD outcomes.
This is a trial-record entry, not a reported study result. The registry lists eligibility criteria (IBD in remission, age 10–21, English-speaking, not on medically prescribed restrictive diets or tube feeding) and describes two simple educational interventions aimed at reducing UPF consumption.
The outcome is dietary change measured by food recalls within 4–12 weeks rather than clinical disease endpoints. Practical note: If you care about IBD and diet, this study investigates whether brief, low-cost educational materials can change eating patterns in youth with IBD.
It does not report findings here — it describes the planned design, interventions, and measures.
This is a recruiting, observational trial record on ClinicalTrials.gov describing planned methods and outcomes; it does not provide results. The primary outcome is a change in percent of daily energy from NOVA Group 4 foods measured by dietary recall over 4–12 weeks.
The study excludes patients on medically prescribed restrictive diets or tube feeding, and limits enrollment to English-speaking participants followed at the study center.
