  • Title: EUS-guided celiac block and neurolysis.
    Author: Collins D, Penman I, Mishra G, Draganov P.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 2006 Sep; 38(9):935-9. PubMed ID: 16981114.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal pain related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis can be a disabling and difficult symptom to treat for patients, their families, and physicians. Pharmacologic therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is usually ineffective. Opiate analgesics may not be well tolerated and can lead to dependence. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus block offers a potential adjunct treatment for pain control.
