A new pain treatment for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to manage severe pain linked to pancreatic cancer when standard pain medicine isn't working or causes side effects. It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce pain and improve quality of life.

This trial compares a treatment that delivers pain medicine directly to the spinal cord (intrathecal therapy) with usual pain control. It is for people with severe cancer pain that is not helped by oral or intravenous opioids.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a Whipple procedure: one is a shot of morphine into the fluid around the spine, and the other is a small tube placed under the skin at the surgical cut that delivers pain medicine continuously. The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
This trial tests whether focused radiation on nerves in the abdomen can reduce pain from advanced pancreatic cancer. If you join, you'll receive this treatment and your pain levels will be monitored.
This Phase 1 trial tests a new drug related to capsaicin (resiniferatoxin) to reduce severe nerve pain from advanced cancer. It is given through a small catheter near the spinal fluid space and is meant for people whose pain medicines and other options have not worked well enough.
This early-phase study tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV infusion can help treat pancreatic cancer. It will enroll people with confirmed pancreatic cancer that can be measured on scans, including some cases discovered to have spread during surgery.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after laparoscopic colon surgery: one uses a morphine injection near the spinal cord, the other uses an epidural catheter for ongoing pain relief. The goal is to find which approach works better with fewer side effects.
