Summary

This study tracks how well a nerve block procedure called celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) helps manage pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. Researchers will follow 35 patients for 24 weeks, recording their pain scores and pain medication use. The goal is to see if the procedure reduces pain and the need for painkillers over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Celiac Plexus Neurolysis (a nerve block procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a way to better manage chronic pain from pancreatitis and reduce reliance on pain medications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study (35 people) that only tracks outcomes, not a controlled trial. The procedure may not work for everyone, and there are risks like bleeding or nerve damage.
