NCT ID NCT05603702

First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether adding lacosamide, a seizure medication, to standard opioid therapy is safe and tolerable for people with long-term abdominal pain from chronic pancreatitis. About 24 adults will take the drug for 7 days and be monitored for side effects and pain changes. The goal is to see if this combination can reduce a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia, where opioids actually make pain worse.
