Abstract
The pain associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) can be debilitating, often leading to excessive use and misuse of narcotic analgesics. Splanchnic nerve block is a technique aimed at interrupting the neural conduction causing abdominal pain [1]. Previous studies focused, predominantly, on using this technique for treating pain associated with upper gastrointestinal malignancies. However, it can provide great relief for those with persistent pain from CP [2]. We describe a case report for management of intractable pain from CP with fluoroscopic guided bilateral splanchnic nerve block in a young female with opioid-use disorder (OUD) and status post distal pancreatectomy.
