A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Celiac Plexus Blockade (EUS-CPB) With Standard Plexus Injection vs. Direct Celiac Ganglia Block for Treatment of Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis.

AIM: To compare pain relief in patients randomly assigned to endoscopic ultrasound-guided
celiac ganglia block (EUS-CGB) vs standard endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus block
(EUS-CPB).

METHODS: This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized parallel-group study to assess the
efficacy of EUS-CPB vs. EUS-CGB in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis.

Inclusion criteria include: age>18 yrs, ability for informed consent, chronic daily
pancreatic-type abdominal pain.

Exclusion criteria include: pregnancy, malignancy, recent acute pancreatitis (within 2
months), elevated INR (>1.5) or low platelet count (<75 cells/mm3), allergy to eggs or
"caine" anesthetics.

Inclusion Criteria:

- patients with chronic pancreatitis and referred for EUS-guided celiac plexus block
with: age>18 yrs, ability for informed consent, chronic daily pancreatic-type
abdominal pain.

Exclusion Criteria:

- pregnancy, malignancy, recent acute pancreatitis (within 2 months), elevated INR
