Treatment of Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis with Pancreatic Enzymes: The Counterposition

  • Conference paper
Pancreatic Enzymes in Health and Disease

Abstract

I have been asked to take a counterposition, but I must confess that I have some difficulties in identifying myself with that role, since conceptually I am not an advocate of the counterposition taken here. But nevertheless let me try to put in question the commonly cited mechanism that pain relief during enzyme substitution therapy in patients with chronic pancreatitis operates via the feedback mechanism of pancreatic enzyme secretion. And in the following you will see how well I have prepared myself, in conjunction with Dr. Ihse; the sequence events shown in Figs. 2a-d will be much the same as in his talk.
