Could skipping a numbing drug improve pain relief for pancreatic cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT04951804
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a procedure called celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) that uses alcohol to block pain nerves in people with pancreatic cancer. Doctors usually inject bupivacaine (a numbing drug) before the alcohol to prevent pain during the procedure, but it's not clear if it helps or might even reduce the alcohol's effect. The trial will compare pain levels and safety in 180 adults who get the procedure with or without bupivacaine.
