Brief description of study.

This study wants to better understand how a person with Chronic Pancreatitis feels pain even though scans show no blockages or other reasons why pain should exist. The study, called Predicting treatment response in Chronic Pancreatitis using Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST), wants to better understand how a person with Chronic Pancreatitis feels pain even though scans show no blockages or other reasons why pain should exist. QST is a series of small tests that are used to map the nervous system based on the idea that we can outline nerve networks without having to do invasive testing. While QST patients will receive many different types of interventions, therapies, or surgical procedures, a group of “control” subjects with no pancreas disease are needed to serve as a comparison group.

This study investigates how individuals with Chronic Pancreatitis experience pain even when scans show no blockages or other evident reasons for the pain. Chronic Pancreatitis is a condition where the pancreas becomes inflamed over a long period, potentially leading to permanent damage. The study uses Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) to understand the nervous system's role in pain perception without invasive procedures.

In this study, participants will undergo Quantitative Sensory Testing, which involves a series of small tests to map nerve networks. Participants may receive different types of interventions, therapies, or surgical procedures as part of the study. A control group of individuals without pancreatic disease will also be included for comparison.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and over who do not have a personal history or symptoms of pancreatic disease can participate.
  • Study details: The study includes a control group for comparison, involving individuals without pancreatic disease.
