About this study

Official title: Quality of Life Evaluation of Endoscopic Interventions in Chronic Pancreatitis

This study seeks to evaluate the effect of endoscopic interventions on quality of life in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Quality of life will be evaluated using the PANQOLI, a validated quality of life instrument specific to chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic interventions will include pancreatic duct dilation and stenting, celiac plexus block, lithotripsy and removal of pancreatic duct stones, and pseudocyst drainage.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter prospective cohort study assessing the impact of endoscopic interventions on patients with chronic pancreatitis. Patients with chronic pancreatitis referred for endoscopic treatment, including pancreatic duct dilation and stenting, pseudocyst drainage, celiac plexus blocks, and pseudocyst drainage/necrosectomy will be enrolled in this study. They will receive a baseline evaluation using the PANQOLI, a chronic pancreatitis-specific quality of life instrument, in addition to a visual analog scale to measure their pain. Demographic and endoscopic features will be collected in addition to pain medication use. Patients will receive follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention consisting of the PANQOLI, visual analog scale for pain, and pain medication use.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PANQOLI (quality of life instrument)Other

    Also called Visual Analog Scale for pain

    A quality of life instrument, the PANQOLI, will be administered prior to endoscopic intervention, and at 1,3, 6 and 12 months post-intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Quality of Life using the PANQOLI (PANcreatitis Quality of Life Instrument)

    The primary outcome will be the change in quality of life using the PANQOLI (PANcreatitis Quality of Life Instrument) after endoscopic intervention.

    Measured: The outcome will be measured at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in pain level using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain.

    The secondary outcome will include the change in pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain after endoscopic intervention

    Measured: The outcome will be measured at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention.

  2. Change in pain medication use

    The secondary outcome will include the change in pain medication use after endoscopic intervention.

    Measured: The outcome will be measured at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 2 sites in United States.

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 4 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 22 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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.

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Quality of Life using the PANQOLI (PANcreatitis Quality of Life Instrument) (time frame: The outcome will be measured at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention.). 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 22 May 2024.
