About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Physicians need a tracking system for specific treatment modalities, and data to determine the impact of endoscopic ultrasound pain management for patients with chronic pancreatitis.
The group in the trial
- Chronic Pancreatitis Patients
Patients that have Chronic Pancreatitis and the current treatment with Celiac Plexus Blocks (CPB) are providing minimal relief of pain (CPB provide less than one month of pain relief). These patient will then receive a Celiac Plexus Neurolysis.
Treatment: Celiac Plexus Neurolysis
