Filter by:This is an observational prospective study to develop predictive biomarkers for pain response in participants with chronic pancreatitis scheduled for endoscopic therapy. Participants will undergo baseline assessments including electroencephalography (EEG), quantitative sensory testing (QST), and psychosocial questionnaires. Response to endoscopic therapy will be assessed at approximately 3, 6, 12 and 18 months post-procedure using questionnaires.
This study will explore the efficacies of several practical short-term (peri-procedural) intravenous fluid regimens in the prevention of post- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). PEP is the most common serious ERCP-related adverse event (AE), occurring in 5-15% of patients, and associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization. Given the current lack of data on effectiveness of short-term fluid regimens in PEP prevention to inform practice, the results of the proposed study have the strong potential to impact ERCP practices worldwide, whether positive or negative.
This clinical will evaluate the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of pirenidone in patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis.
The aim of the current study is to compare the efficacy and safety of oral NAC and rectal diclofenac in preventing Post Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis. .
Our aim is to compare early versus late pancreatic stent placement in preventing PEP among patients with naive papilla. The EVL trial will provide essential answers regarding the optimal timing of prophylactic pancreatic stent placement in PEP prevention.All patients with difficult biliary cannulation undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with pancreatic guidewire-assisted technique for biliary access will be told about the opportunity to participate in EVL research. In total, 768 patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to two arms: (1) early pancreatic stent placement (EPSP) (a pancreatic stent will be placed immediately after endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST)) and (2) late pancreatic stent placement (LPSP) (a pancreatic stent will be placed after all completion of therapeutic biliary procedures, e.g. biliary stone removal or drainage).The primary outcome is the rate and severity of PEP. The secondary outcomes are hyperamylasemia, the rate of stenting success, and other ERCP-related adverse events (AEs).
The goal of this observational study is to compare patient outcomes between the groups of patients admitted before and after the full implementation of the novel surgical strategy in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. The main question it aims to answer are: • the efficacy and safety of the novel surgical strategy To assess the efficacy and safety of the novel surgical strategy, all included patients were divided into two groups according to the timing of receiving treatment: 1) the early period group: patients admitted before January 2021 received the hybrid strategy of traditional and novel surgical strategies; and 2) the late period group: patients admitted during and after January 2021 received the complete novel surgical strategy.
The study will make a comparison between Various severity scoring systems that has been designed to assess the severity and predict prognosis in acute pancreatitis
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the biomarkers and mechanisms of severe acute pancreatitis in 30 healthy controls, 30 patients of mild acute pancreatitis, 30 patients of moderately severe acute pancreatitis, and 86 patients of severe acute pancreatitis. The main question it aims to answer are: • The relationship between changes in gut microbiota and clinical prognosis (plasma inflammatory cytokines, incidence and duration of infection in various parts, mortality rate), and the screening and validation of biomarkers that can be used for early prediction of disease severity. • Analyze the relationship between changes in blood composition and clinical prognosis (plasma inflammatory cytokines, incidence and duration of infection in various parts, mortality rate), screen and verify biomarkers that can be used for early prediction of disease severity. Blood and fecal samples from the healthy control group and diagnosed patients will be collected.
Chronic pancreatitis leads to severe abdominal pain in up to 70% of patients, and several studies have proposed it has a neuropathic component. Current treatments often fail to provide adequate pain relief, necessitating new innovations for management. Spinal cord stimulation has been proposed to treat severe neuropathic pain refractory to conventional treatment, but sham-controlled trials have not previously been done in patients with visceral pain. This study will test the effect of spinal cord stimulation in chronic pancreatitis patients with insufficient pain relief from standard therapies.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease of the gastrointestinal tract that can result in emotional, physical, and financial burdens on the patient.
