Brief summary (from the registry)
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.
