Cold water rinse to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether rinsing the pancreas with cold water during ERCP can reduce the risk of pancreatitis, a common complication. The treatment is added to the standard medicine (indomethacin) to see if it offers extra protection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding ice water irrigation to standard rectal indomethacin reduces the risk of inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP, a procedure that examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. It may help prevent a painful complication.
This trial tests whether giving extra IV fluids before, during, and after an ERCP procedure can help prevent a common complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). If you are scheduled for an ERCP, you may be eligible to participate.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of a painful complication called pancreatitis. If you’re scheduled for ERCP with a “never-treated” opening, this trial may see if lidocaine helps you avoid post-procedure pancreas inflammation.
This study compares two common NSAID medications (indomethacin and diclofenac) given before an ERCP procedure to see if one is better at preventing pancreatitis, a common complication. If you are having an ERCP and meet the health criteria, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a rectal dose of indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory drug) can help prevent complications after an ERCP. It is for people who have already had a sphincterotomy and are having another ERCP to treat bile duct issues.
This study tests if flushing the bile duct opening with ice-cold water during a procedure called ERCP can reduce the chance of developing pancreatitis afterward. The procedure is done to treat bile duct blockages, and this simple step might help prevent a common complication.
