First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests Scrambler Therapy, a non-invasive device that sends electrical signals through the skin to retrain the brain's pain response. Forty adults with chronic pancreatitis and persistent abdominal pain will receive 5-10 daily sessions. Researchers will measure pain levels and quality of life over 3 months to see if the approach is feasible and effective.
