Pancreatic CancerPhase 1NCT01182831
Trial Comparing Two Techniques of Celiac Plexus Neurolysis for Treatment of Pain in Carcinoma Pancreas
A Phase 1 study testing percutaneous fluoro guided celiac plexus neurolysis and EUS guided neurolysis in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India at 1 site in India.
Trial summary
Coeliac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a management option for pain control in carcinoma pancreas.CPN is conventionally performed by percutaneous technique with fluoroscopic guidance. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is increasingly used for CPN as it offers a better visualization of the plexus. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Trial Comparing Fluoroscopy Guided Percutaneous Technique Versus Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Technique of Celiac Plexus Neurolysis for Treatment of Pain in Carcinoma Pancreas
Coeliac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a management option for pain control in carcinoma pancreas.CPN is conventionally performed by percutaneous technique with fluoroscopic guidance. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is increasingly used for CPN as it offers a better visualization of the plexus. There are limited data comparing the two modalities.The patients are on follow-up for 6 months post neurolysis.
Read the detailed description
Carcinoma pancreas patients with abdominal pain requiring daily analgesics for more than 4 weeks were included.we are randomising about 100 patients into two groups to undergo either of the two procedures, i.e. celiac plexus neurolysis by percutaneous technique or by endoscopic ultrasound guided technique.The pain scores have been recorded by visual analogue scale for an average follow-up of 6 months.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
percutaneous fluoro guided celiac plexus neurolysisProcedure or surgery
It is percutaneous injection of neurolytic agent in and around the celiac ganglion
EUS guided neurolysisProcedure or surgery

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing percutaneous fluoro guided celiac plexus neurolysis and EUS guided neurolysis in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India at 1 site in India.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
immediate pain relief (time frame: day of block to six months of follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Aug 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
