What this Trial Is About
Chronic pancreatitis causes severe abdominal pain that is difficult to manage. This research is focused on collecting data about the use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis EUS-CPN to control pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. The study aims to understand the clinical impact of this procedure and help physicians improve patient care. Participants who have chronic pancreatitis and receive minimal pain relief from celiac plexus blocks lasting less than one month may undergo celiac plexus neurolysis. This procedure involves injecting alcohol near the celiac plexus nerves under ultrasound guidance to reduce pain signals. The study collects data from these procedures performed by specialized physicians. During the study, participants pain intensity and pain medication use are monitored immediately after the procedure and weekly for 24 weeks through phone follow-ups. Researchers track numeric pain scores and medication dosage to evaluate pain management. The study helps doctors better understand pain control in chronic pancreatitis and may improve treatment approaches over time.
