First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a small, needle-free device that sends mild electrical pulses to specific points on the skin to relieve abdominal pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. 42 adults with long-term pancreas pain used the device at home for several weeks. The goal was to see if this simple, non-invasive approach could safely reduce pain compared to a fake (sham) device.
