Quit smoking and alcohol to prevent pancreatitis coming back
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is studying whether stopping alcohol and quitting smoking can help keep acute pancreatitis from returning. It’s for people whose pancreatitis happened because of alcohol, and who smoke every day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
