Summary
This study tested whether giving rectal indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory drug) along with extra fluids before an ERCP procedure could prevent pancreatitis, a painful complication. The trial included 60 patients who needed ERCP. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost approach reduces the chance of pancreas inflammation after the procedure.
