Summary

This study is looking for ways to predict which people with chronic pancreatitis will get pain relief from a procedure called endoscopic therapy. Researchers will use brain scans, nerve tests, and questionnaires before the procedure, then track pain levels for up to 18 months. The goal is to find markers that help doctors choose the right treatment for each patient.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors predict which chronic pancreatitis patients will benefit most from endoscopic therapy, leading to more personalized treatment.
What could go wrong: This is an early observational study with only 100 participants. The biomarkers may not reliably predict pain response, and results may not apply to all patients.
