VR pain relief study for chronic pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
