About This Chronic Pain Study in Baltimore

The investigators will enroll adults with chronic pancreatitis who have persistent abdominal pain not relieved by standard treatments. This study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of Scrambler Therapy, a non-invasive FDA-cleared device that delivers "non-pain" electrical signals through the skin to retrain the brain's pain perception. Participants will undergo 5-10 treatment sessions and be followed for 3 months with standardized pain scores and quality-of-life assessments. The goal is to generate pilot data to support larger studies of Scrambler Therapy as a novel option for pancreatic pain.
