Role of Home-Based Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation for Treatment of Pain in Subjects With Chronic Pancreatitis
Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation (TEA) is a noninvasive acupuncture method that can be self-administered at home without needles. TEA transmits a weak electrical current using electrodes placed at acupoints and has shown to safely reduce pain in other gastrointestinal conditions. This study will help elucidate if TEA is effective in treating …
Does Pancreatic Stent Decrease the Risk of Pancreatitis After Pancreatic Sphincterotomy for Difficult Cannulation?
The purpose of the study is to compare the risk of PEP after pancreatic sphincterotomy performed for difficult cannulation in a group of patients with and in a group of patients without placement of a prophylactic pancreatic stent. The definition of difficult cannulation is defined according to the literature.
Robot-assisted Versus Open Lateral Pancreaticojejunostomy for the Treatment of Symptomatic Chronic Pancreatitis (PANACOTTA)
PANACOTTA is a multicenter randomized controlled trial including patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis and a dilated main pancreatic duct to either robot-assisted or open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy. The PANACOTTA trial will assess the post-operative quality of recovery following robot-assisted versus open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy.
Pancreatic Quantitative Sensory Testing (P-QST) to Predict Treatment Response for Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis
Abdominal pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) affects up to 90% of patients during the course of their disease, and response to currently available therapies is suboptimal and unpredictable. The proposed clinical trial will evaluate the predictive capability of Pancreatic Quantitative Sensory Testing (P-QST) - a novel assessment of neurosensory phenotyping- …
STTEPP: Safety, Tolerability and Dose Limiting Toxicity of Lacosamide in Patients With Painful Chronic Pancreatitis
The investigators propose to conduct a dose-escalation trial of an FDA-approved antiepileptic drug, lacosamide, added to opioid therapy in patients with chronic abdominal pain from chronic pancreatitis (CP). This pilot trial will test the feasibility of the study design and provide reassurance regarding the tolerability and safety of lacosamide used …
Evaluating the Efficacy of RELiZORB in Managing Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in Tube-fed Pancreatitis Patients
This research aims to improve the management of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), a condition that can develop after pancreatitis, a painful inflammation of the pancreas. EPI occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to help the body properly digest food. While pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is commonly …
A Study to Evaluate Splenectomy on Debridement for Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis With Pancreatic Sinistral Portal Hypertension
This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial focusing on patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicated by pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension (PSPH). The study aims to study the impact of total splenectomy on the debridement efficacy, perioperative recovery, and prognosis of patients with ANP complicated by PSPH.
Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Duloxetine in the Prevention of Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP (, a key tool that is used in diagnosis and treatment of pancreato-biliary diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common and serious complication that can occur following this procedure and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. A variety of patient-related and procedure-related factors have …
Evaluation of the Use of a Biodegradable Endoprothesis in the Prevention of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde CholoangioPancreatography Pancreatitis
The use of an endoprothesis in a pancreatic duct is a measure to minimize the incidence and severity of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde CholoangioPancreatography Pancreatitis. In this study we will evaluate the use of a Biodegradable Endoprothesis: Archimede Fast Biodegradable Pancreatic Stent in patients with high risk of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde CholoangioPancreatography Pancreatitis.The …
Single Plastic Stent Vs. Fully Covered Self-Expanding Metal Stent on Benign Biliary Stricture Secondary to Chronic Pancreatitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of a single plastic stent versus a fully covered self-expanded metal stent in relieving benign biliary stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis. The main questions it aims to answer is: Whether the efficacy of a single plastic stent …
