Necrosectomy With Cryotechnology for Accelerated Removal
Pancreatic necrosis is a serious complication of acute pancreatitis. Pancreatic necrosis involves the irreversible death of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to severe health issues, including infections and an increased risk of death. An endoscopic procedure called direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) is typically performed to remove this necrotic pancreatic tissue …
Corticosteroids to Treat Pancreatitis
This research is being done to determine if the administration of a short course of intravenous hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory medication, to patients with severe acute pancreatitis will improve their clinical outcomes and decrease the length of hospitalization. We think that because inflammation in the body drives the progression of pancreatitis, …
Scrambler Therapy in Chronic Pancreatitis
The investigators will enroll adults with chronic pancreatitis who have persistent abdominal pain not relieved by standard treatments. This study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of Scrambler Therapy, a non-invasive FDA-cleared device that delivers "non-pain" electrical signals through the skin to retrain the brain's pain perception. Participants will undergo …
Endotherapy and/or Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy for Painless Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is caused by factors such as genetics and the environment, leading to the destruction of pancreatic tissue, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and progressive fibrosis of the pancreas. As the disease progresses, pancreatic tissue is damaged, resulting in impaired endocrine and exocrine functions, manifesting as symptoms like steatorrhea …
QST Study: Predicting Treatment Response in Chronic Pancreatitis Using Quantitative Sensory Testing
Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) is a novel investigative technique used in other pain conditions to evaluate patterns of chronic pain, and in this study will be used to elucidate pain patterns in patients with Chronic Pancreatitis (CP). QST uses a specific series of standardized stimulations to map the pain system. …
Novel Cellular Therapy for the Treatment of Pain Associated With Chronic Pancreatitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether adult stem cells, called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) collected from the patient's bone marrow can help reduce pain caused by chronic pancreatitis and improve pancreatic function.
Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Associated With Chronic Pancreatitis Pain
This protocol aims to test whether an infusion of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) can reduce pain associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and explore potential mechanisms of MSC action.
Simvastatin Treatment to Improve Patient-reported Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis
The purpose of this pilot study to examine the feasibility and acceptability of simvastatin in adults with Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis (RAP) and Chronic Pancreatitis (CP).
Internet-Delivered Pain Self-Management for Persons With Acute Recurrent and Chronic Pancreatitis Pain
Severe and disabling abdominal pain is common in individuals with chronic pancreatitis. Although pain is associated with reduced quality of life and high economic and societal costs, there are limited effective options for pain management in this population. This study proposes an evidence-based psychological intervention approach using an internet-delivered pain …
Dual-scopic Pancreatic Necrosectomy (DPN)
The LPN procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The transperitoneal access to peripancreatic space is via the gastro-colic ligament and greater omentum, effusion and pus is removed by laparoscopic forceps and suction. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is performed during the LPN procedure on patients with indication. The NPN procedure is followed …
