Treatment of Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Enzymes

  • I. Ihse
Conference paper

Abstract

Until recently little interest has been shown in the pathophysiology of pancreatic pain, although it is a dominating symptom in pancreatic disease. In 1990, however, a Progress Symposium focusing exclusively on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic pain was published (Ihse 1990). The present paper will deal with chronic pancreatitis and the treatment of pain in this disease by the oral administration of pancreatic enzymes.
