Filter by: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 self-management program to minimize the impact of pain and improve quality of life. The ultimate goal is to maximize the public health impact of the intervention with successful implementation and dissemination to pancreas clinics and to the community.
The purpose of this study is to characterize organ dysfunction change in acute necrotizing pancreatitis patients with sepsis after open necrosectomy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) works to treat idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis (IRAP) in adults. It also clarify the efficacy of ERCP in the diagnosis of IRAP. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ERCP reduce the frequency of pancreatitis episodes in IRAP patients? Does ERCP contribute to identify the etiology of IRAP patients? Participants will be randomly allocated to receive ERCP (pancreatic sphincterotomy and pancreatic stent placement) or conservative treatment and be followed for 1 year.
The purpose of the research is to test the feasibility and preliminary impact of a home-based, standardized, gut-directed, virtual reality cognitive behavioral therapy (VR CBT) on clinical and functional outcomes of patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) pain. The primary research procedures are questionnaires and biometric Fitbit data. The study will enroll adult patients with CP or RAP.
The purpose of collecting this data is to continue to learn more about the EchoTip AcuCore and the device's ability to produce the desired favorable effect and if there are any undesired outcomes that may be related to the EchoTip AcuCore.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn about the etiology, natural course, therapeutic effect and outcome of recurrent acute pancreatitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does endoscopic intervention, surgery or conservative treatment reduce the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? What are the risk factors affecting the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? Patients will be closely followed and clinical information will be recorded.
The goal of this observational, retrospective study is to learn about cancer risk in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do patients with AIP have higher incidence of cancer in comparison to general population? - What is the overall prevalence of cancer in AIP patients? - What are the characteristics of AIP patients associated with the incidence of cancer?
The number as well as the caliber of plastic stents used for EUS-guided PFC drainage are controversial in current practice [Lin et al., 2014]. The timing of necrosectomy in WOPN drainage continues to be debated. To date, no comparative studies have been conducted to investigate the ideal timing for stent removal. Thus, the aim of our study is to: - Assess the technical success rates, clinical success rates and potential complications of the different techniques for the best drainage of PFCs as regard type, caliber and number of plastic stents and ideal timing for stent removal. - Compare between early vs late intervention for complete endoscopic necrosectomy of WOPN as regard technical success rates, clinical success rates, potential complications and number of sessions needed.
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.
