This study looks at whether brain patterns can predict how well endoscopic therapy works for chronic pancreatitis pain. If you have confirmed chronic pancreatitis with blockage in your pancreatic duct and frequent pain, you may be able to join.
This Phase 1 study tests a new cell-based treatment to reduce pain caused by chronic pancreatitis. It’s designed mainly to check safety first, and it may help people with ongoing, opioid-stable pancreatic pain.
This study uses a special pain-testing method to better predict how people with chronic pancreatitis-related pain (or similar conditions) will respond to treatment. It may help doctors choose therapies that work better for each person’s type of pain.
This trial tests a two-part surgery: removing the pancreas and then putting the patient’s own insulin-making cells back into the body to help control long-term pancreatitis pain. It is aimed at adults with severe, long-lasting pain who have not improved with medicines or procedures.
