Predicting treatment success for chronic pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have chronic pancreatitis that is definite or advanced on imaging (Cambridge III/IV or M-ANNHEIM criteria).
- You are scheduled for a procedure to open a blocked duct (like lithotripsy, duct dilation, or stone removal) as part of your care.
- You have had pain at least 3 days a week for the last 3 months, and your average pain in the past week is 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale.
- You do not have other chronic pain conditions or recent acute pancreatitis in the last 2 months.
- You are not pregnant, do not use illegal drugs (marijuana is okay), and do not regularly take benzodiazepines.

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 how chronic pancreatitis pain affects the nervous system and mental health. It aims to understand pain better and may help develop new ways to manage it.
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 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 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 using virtual reality (VR) can help reduce abdominal pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. If you have ongoing pain from chronic pancreatitis, you may be able to join and try VR as a non-drug pain management option.
