Cooling the pancreas from the inside: a new device aims to tame severe inflammation
NCT ID NCT07698119
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a special cooling tube placed near the pancreas can help people with acute pancreatitis recover faster. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus the cooling device for up to three days. The study measures how quickly patients can eat again without pain or organ failure, and tracks any side effects. The goal is to see if cooling the pancreas reduces dangerous inflammation and speeds healing.
