Crohn's Disease Fatigue and Brain Cortical Complexity Data for 98 Participants

Forty-nine participants with Crohn's disease and 49 healthy controls completed the Fatigue Impact Scale and underwent whole-brain T1-weighted MRI. The data, authored by Theresa A. McIver and last updated in April 2026, links physical, cognitive, and psychosocial fatigue to cortical complexity in specific brain regions like the superior temporal gyrus.

Use Cases

• Modeling relationships between disease activity and fatigue based on cortical complexity metrics.
• Comparing brain structure differences between Crohn's disease patients and healthy controls using MRI data.
• Investigating distinct neural substrates for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial fatigue impacts.
• Examining the moderating role of cortical complexity in brain-gut interactions.

Strengths

• Includes a matched control group of 49 healthy participants for comparison.
• Measures fatigue across three distinct domains: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial.
• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 675.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
