Different mechanisms have a negative impact on the course of inflammatory bowel disease. Important mechanisms include amongst others an increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, intestinal dysbiosis, increased permeability of the intestinal barrier, increased release of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the brain, activation of mast cells in the intestinal mucosa and inadequate central pain processing with the consequences of anxiety and depression. All of these factors can increase the inflammatory response in the intestine and lead to acute flare-ups. For this reason, appropriate stress management is extremely important for the success of therapy.
