Stem cells for chronic pancreatitis pain
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a new treatment using stem cells can safely reduce long-term pain from chronic pancreatitis. It is for people who have had pancreatic pain for at least 6 months and are already taking daily pain medicine.

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 trial tests whether pirfenidone, an oral medication that may reduce scarring and inflammation, can help relieve pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. If you have ongoing pain or frequent flare-ups, this study could offer a new treatment option.
This study tests a non-invasive pain treatment called scrambler therapy for people with chronic pancreatitis. It uses mild electrical signals on the skin to try to reduce long-term belly 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 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 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.
