New Pancreatitis Treatments in Development: Chemical Pancreatectomy and Electrical Stimulation (TEA)

[@ShannonChaney-hp4on]

I’ve had Chronic Pancreatitis since 2017 I’m willing to try any new cures!

Your TEA sounds like TENS to me. That was one of the early things we tried at my pain clinic - I’ve loved my TENS for back pain for years - so I was hopeful it might affect my pancreas. It did. It was awful! It felt like my poor pancreas went into spasm, and didn’t quiet until I turned the TENS off. Damn. Hope your concept works better.

Hello there,I’m diagnosed with severe EPI , gastronologist never looked in to the cause I have pain on my left med back, and abdominal pain and gastrointestinal issues,would I qualify for clinical trials

[@MissionCure]

For a thorough evaluation of your severe EPI and related symptoms, we recommend consulting with a pancreas specialist or a gastroenterologist who specializes in pancreatic conditions. They can help determine the underlying cause of your pain and gastrointestinal issues. To participate in clinical trials, a detailed diagnosis is typically necessary to assess whether you meet the eligibility criteria. You might find our diagnosis toolkit(mission-cure.org/pancreatitis-diagnosis-toolkit/) and diagnosis webinar (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6STqX6Meb1rp7s) helpful as you seek further evaluation.
