    Placebo tablets

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Fatigue [After 4 weeks active treatment]

      Change in levels of fatigue measured by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fatigue Scale (IBD-F). Section I of the scale measures the severity of fatigue on a scale from 0-20, where 20 is maximum fatigue. A change in IBD-F score of 3 points or more is regarded as a clinical relevant change.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Fatigue [Week 8, 12, 24, and 52]

      Change in levels of fatigue measured by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fatigue Scale (IBD-F). Section I of the scale measures the severity of fatigue on a scale from 0-20, where 20 is maximum fatigue. A change in IBD-F score of 3 points or more is regarded as a clinical relevant change.

    2. Health-Related Quality of Life [Week 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52]

      Changes in Health-Related Quality of Life, measured by the generic EQ-5D Tool (mainly the VAS-scale (0-100, where100 is best).

    3. Disease specific Health-Related Quality of Life [Week 4, 8, 12, 24, and 52]

      Changes in Health-Related Quality of Life, measured by the disease specific Short Health Scale (SHS). SHS comprises 4 questions regarding disease related quality of life on VAS-scales (0-10, where 10 is worst).
