Filter by:This protocol aims to test whether an infusion of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) can reduce pain associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and explore potential mechanisms of MSC action.
The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of EUS-CPB in the alleviation of abdominal pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about clinical usefulness of double pigtail plastic stents during endoscopic transmural drainage of post-inflammatory pancreatic and peripancreatic fluid collections with use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). The main question it aims to answer is: Does introduction of double pigtail plastic stents through the LAMS increases efficacy and safety of endoscopic transmural drainage of post-inflammatory pancreatic and peripancreatic fluid collections?
Sarcopenia is a complex multifactorial syndrome which could be present in older age (primary sarcopenia) or earlier in chronic disease (secondary sarcopenia). Evidence of the prevalence and incidence of sarcopenia in chronic pancreatitis is lacking, as well as studies which correlate sarcopenia to evolution of chronic pancreatitis.The main aim of this study is to evaluate whole body composition, sarcopenia, dynamic force tests, laboratory data at different stages of chronic pancreatitis. The accuracy of bioimpedance analysis and muscle ultrasound in the diagnosis of sarcopenia will also be assessed.
The main reason for this research study is to find out more about acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis in children. There are few studies on childhood pancreatitis, so diagnosis and treatment are based on adult studies. This limits our understanding and treatment of these disorders in children. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a tool used to assess and diagnose pancreatic disease. We can use ultrasound with shear wave elastography (SWE) to measure fibrosis (scarring) of the pancreas. We can use SWE on both EUS and transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) systems. Both TUS and EUS SWE have been studied for diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis in adult patients, however they have not been studied in children. We plan to use EUS SWE and TUS SWE information in this study to help us understand pancreatitis in children. Children with pancreatitis and children without pancreatitis (controls) will be invited to participate in this study.
To explore the impact of chronic pancreatitis (CP) susceptibility genes on pregnancy outcomes.
This research is studying a new noninvasive device-based therapy called Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation (TEA) to learn about its safety and how well it works as a treatment of pain in chronic pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of TEA to treat abdominal pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The study hypothesizes that TEA can be used as a non-pharmaceutical opioid-free approach to treat pain in chronic pancreatitis.
The goal of this observational study is to improve the epidemiological data of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in China, determine the FE-1 cut-off value for the classification of PEI, and explore the characteristic differences between T3cDM and type 2 diabetes mellitus in clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators.
To evaluate the islet function and insulin secretion pattern of post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus by oral glucose tolerance testing, and to explore the pathophysiological characteristics of PPDM-C which provide evidence for the diagnosis of PPDM-C.
This study aims to explore whether regular telephone intervention in patients with chronic pancreatitis can improve their smoking cessation rate.
