Altered resting-state brain functional activities and networks in Crohn's disease: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Crohn's disease (CD) is a non-specific chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract and is a phenotype of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The current study sought to compile the resting-state functional differences in the brain between CD patients and healthy controls.

Methods

The online databases PubMed, Web of Science Core, and EMBASE were used to find the published neuroimage studies. The search period was from the beginning through December 15, 2023. The predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria allowed for the identification of the studies. The studies were assembled by two impartial reviewers, who also assessed their quality and bias.

Results

This review comprised 16 resting-state fMRI studies in total. The included studies genera
