Abstract:
To evaluate the effect of endoscopic ultrasonography guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS CPN) on pain associated with pancreatic carcinoma. Methods EUS CPN was performed to relieve pain in 16 patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma. By EUS, we used fine needle to puncture at the region of celiac ganglion and inject alcohol. The pain tensions were followed up under visual analogue scale rule at 2 days and weekly thereafter. Results All patients were performed EUS CPN successfully. No serious complications happened. No satisfactory pain control after the first 2 days of EUS CPN.Whereas it was relieved obviously after 7 days and the effects maintain a rather long term. Conclusion EUS CPN is a safe and effective method for releiving the pain in pancreatic carcinoma.
