Cold and NSAID therapy to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if applying cold therapy or giving an NSAID (anti-inflammatory medication) before an ERCP can prevent pancreatitis, a common complication. It is for adults having their first ERCP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.

- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have any medical reason that makes NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) unsafe for you.

This trial tests whether using rectal NSAIDs (a type of painkiller) with or without a small tube (stent) in the pancreas can prevent pancreatitis after ERCP. It's for people who are at higher risk for this complication.
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 an anti-inflammatory drug (diclofenac) before an ERCP procedure can help prevent a common complication called pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). If you are scheduled for ERCP, you may be able to participate.
This study tests whether combining a rectal anti-inflammatory medication (indomethacin) with cold water cooling of the pancreas opening during an endoscopic procedure can better prevent pancreatitis—a painful inflammation of the pancreas—compared to medication alone.
This trial tests if giving fluids before an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It may help people who have not had this procedure before.
