New endoscopic approach targets debilitating pancreatitis pain

NCT ID NCT04232670

Summary

This study tested whether a specialized endoscopic procedure could reduce pain in people with chronic pancreatitis who have blocked pancreatic ducts. Fourteen adults with significant daily pain participated in this pilot trial, where some received the actual treatment while others received a sham procedure. Researchers measured pain changes over 90 days to determine if clearing blockages through these minimally invasive techniques provides meaningful relief.
