The research published in the UEG Journal on Wednesday shows that those with Crohn's disease experience slower response times compared with individuals who do not have the disease. The cognitive response times were 10 percent slower than normal and significantly corresponded with symptoms of active inflammation, including abdominal pain and fatigue, the study finds. The results show the presence of mild cognitive impairment in Crohn's patients. This also supports frequent complaints from patients related to lack of concentration, clouding of thought and memory lapses. The study also found that Crohn's patients had a higher median depression score and a poorer rate of sleep quality.
