Home or hospital care for mild pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of managing mild acute pancreatitis: being treated at the hospital (inpatient) versus going home with careful monitoring (outpatient). It aims to see if home care is safe and as effective as hospital care for people with mild symptoms.

This trial tests a special cooling catheter placed in the stomach to reduce inflammation in people with acute pancreatitis. It may help ease symptoms and speed recovery.
This study tests whether giving IV fluids based on how your heart responds can improve recovery from acute pancreatitis, compared with usual care. It may help your body handle fluids better during treatment.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change during acute pancreatitis and whether analyzing them can help predict how severe the condition will become. It may lead to better treatments and faster recovery.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Bifidobacterium longum can help people with acute pancreatitis recover better. The study compares the probiotic against a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient) to see if it reduces inflammation and complications.
