Summary

This study tested whether a web-based self-management program is feasible and acceptable for people with chronic pancreatitis who have ongoing abdominal pain. Thirty-one participants were given access to a tailored website with pain management modules over 12 weeks. The goal was to see if people would use the program and find it acceptable, not to measure pain relief directly.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
web-based self-management program
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could offer a convenient, low-cost way for people with chronic pancreatitis to better manage their pain at home.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early feasibility study with only 31 participants. It did not measure whether pain actually improved, so we cannot yet say if it truly helps.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to speak or read English as the web-based program is currently in English language only. * Incarcerated individuals. * Currently receiving chemotherapy. * Suspected or diagnosed pancreatic cancer. * Currently receiving psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy. * Serious visual difficulties that would limit completing the web-based program. * Substantial cognitive impairment or mental illness that would prevent providing informed consent and completion of questionnaires. * Any other condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would impede compliance or hinder the completion of the study. * Actively enrolled in another clinical trial for chronic pancreatitis.
