This trial tests whether personalized education can improve how people with long-term pancreatitis experience and respond to pain. It may help by teaching pain-focused strategies and tracking how pain changes over time.
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 study is testing a new questionnaire to better measure pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. It aims to help doctors understand and treat your pain more effectively.
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 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.
