Role of Home-based Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation for Treatment of Pain in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis- A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation (TEA) for Chronic Pancreatitis. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research is studying a new noninvasive device-based therapy called Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation (TEA) to learn about its safety and how well it works as a treatment of pain in chronic pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of TEA to treat abdominal pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The study hypothesizes that TEA can be used as a non-pharmaceutical opioid-free approach to treat pain in chronic pancreatitis.

Timeline
Interventions
The severity and frequency participants pain will be measured during a run-in period of 2 weeks to assess baseline pain severity and frequency. Eligible participants will have a 4-week treatment period at home. Stimulation with the TEA device will be performed for 30 minutes twice per day, in the morning and in the evening. In addition to using the device, participants will have study visits, complete surveys, as well as provide medical information during the study.
