Pancreatitis

This study looks at 30 people with mild gallstone-related pancreatitis who choose not to have their gallbladder removed. Half will get an ERCP with sphincterotomy (a procedure that opens the bile duct), and half will receive standard care without the procedure. The goal is to see…

Pancreatitis is a painful inflammation of the pancreas that can happen after an ERCP procedure. Doctors often give rectal indomethacin around the time of ERCP to lower that risk, but it still occurs. This trial randomly assigns adults having ERCP to receive either rectal indometh…

This trial tests whether a single dose of rectal indomethacin, a common anti-inflammatory drug, can prevent pancreatitis in patients undergoing a bile duct procedure (ERCP) who have had a prior sphincterotomy. About 860 adults will be randomly assigned to receive the drug or no d…

Researchers are testing whether intermittent fasting improves quality of life for adults with acute or chronic pancreatitis. Participants follow a daily 16-hour fast or receive standard calorie guidance. The study measures pancreas-related quality of life, pain, opioid use, weigh…

This study tests a special oxygen tube placed in the mouth during a procedure called ERCP, which is used to treat bile duct and pancreas problems. The goal is to see if this method can prevent low oxygen levels that often happen when patients are deeply sedated. About 410 adults …

This study looks at whether routine blood test results can help predict which patients with acute pancreatitis will develop severe disease or die within 28 days. Researchers will track 109 adults admitted with acute pancreatitis and compare their blood cell ratios, such as neutro…

This observational study tests a new bedside device that measures nucleosome levels in the blood of critically ill ICU patients. Researchers want to see if these levels can predict which patients are likely to die within 30 days. The study will enroll 130 adults with conditions l…
