In years gone by, a household pet was often blamed for eating it. Over the last 20 years as a teacher, I’ve heard all sorts of excuses about why homework hasn’t been done. All rights reserved.Whatever their age, most students complain that they have too much homework. Data lend empirical support to the clinical value of homework in teaching patients how to self-manage painful GI symptoms refractory to conventional medical and dietary therapies.Ĭhronic pain Compliance Patient satisfaction Treatment expectations Treatment outcomes.Ĭopyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. Contrary to expectations, homework compliance rates were not greater among in-clinic session patients than home-based patients. Early treatment homework completion did not predict early treatment response. Homework completion rates over the 10-week acute phase corresponded with greater IBS symptom improvement and patient satisfaction at post-treatment. IBS symptom improvement was measured with the Clinician Global Improvement Scale at treatment week 5, post-treatment (week 12), and at follow-ups (weeks 22, 34, 46, 62). Homework completion was rated by clinician at each session. Subjects were 358 IBS patients receiving clinic-based CBT (10 session), home-based CBT (4 session), or a 4 session, non-specific IBS education comparator as part of a large NIH trial. This study examined whether homework completion corresponds with immediate and sustained treatment response in IBS patients enrolled in CBT treatment. However, their actual benefit for IBS is unknown. As a learning-based treatment, homework assignments are regarded as important for optimizing outcomes for CBT-treated patients. Treatment guidelines identify cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment of choice for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
