Nerve block for pain from chronic pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment where medication is injected near nerves in the belly to block pain signals. It may help people with long-term pain from chronic pancreatitis by reducing pain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had belly pain for at least 3 months
- Your pain level is moderate to severe (3 or higher on a 0-10 scale)
- You have been diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis by an endoscopic ultrasound showing at least 5 signs
- Your belly pain is not caused by another condition

This trial tests an endoscopy-based procedure called celiac plexus neurolysis to reduce pain from chronic pancreatitis. It may help people whose pancreas pain has not been adequately controlled with other treatments.
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 study checks how your nerves respond to controlled touch and temperature tests, to help predict how well you’ll respond to procedures that relieve blockage in the main pancreatic duct. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain.
This trial tests whether an early nerve block during endoscopy can better control pain from pancreatic cancer compared to waiting and using standard treatments.
This trial tests whether a nerve-blocking procedure during an endoscopy can reduce pain from pancreatic cancer. Participants will get the procedure either with or without bupivacaine, a local numbing medicine.
This trial compares two nerve-block procedures to see which better relieves severe pain from cancers in the upper belly (like pancreas, stomach, liver, or bile duct). It may help if you have moderate to severe pain and are not pregnant or have certain medical conditions.
