Ойын-сауық
In this Mission: Cure patient education webinar, Dr. Speed and Dr. Treisman discuss the Johns Hopkins Pancreatitis Pain Program.
Pain is a difficult and often avoided topic. However, pain plays a central role in the lives of chronic pancreatitis patients and their caregivers. It is therefore important to understand the causes, impact and treatment options of chronic pancreatitis pain.
The Johns Hopkins Pancreatitis Pain Program is a research and patient care initiative that brings hope to patients with pain due to chronic pancreatitis. Their team combines the expertise of pain psychiatrists, neurogastroenterologists, and mental health specialists to offer innovative neuromodulation treatments to help you improve your quality of life. Working closely with the Johns Hopkins Pancreatitis Center, the program's aim is to better understand different treatment approaches, be able to personalize them, and find new ways to treat chronic pancreatitis pain.
Watch this webinar if you want to learn about:
~ What can lead to chronic pain in pancreatitis patients
~ How the program approaches pain
~ The research goals of the program
~ The requirements and necessary steps to join the program
....And more!

Thank you for responding. This pain is one of the worst
Fighting this for 7 years, so good to find any info on the subject
Terrific webinar @Mission:Cure! Do you have any information/contacts for people living in Australia? Thanks 😊
I have tested severe pancreatitis after suffering for years using ice packs to treat the chronic pain. If there is medication for this to have a life I am willing to take it. I use the ice packs 24/7. This is a life controlling pain and this gave me hope.
Can the pancreas cause chest pains after meals ?

Yes, pancreatitis pain can radiate from your abdomen to your back or chest; however, other conditions can cause chest pain after eating too. We would suggest talking to your primary care doctor more about this.
Do you think there is a correlation between CF carriers and acute to chronic pancreatitis?

Hi Ashley! Yes, the CF (CFTR) gene can play a role in causing chronic pancreatitis. For more information on CFTR and genetics and pancreatitis, visit: mission-cure.org/chronic-pancreatitis/genetics-and-pancreatitis/
My son has a enlarged pancreas. He had not been diagnosed with anything. They are looking at autoimmune pancreas . But I’m told he’s a medical mystery?! So what do I do with this?

We're so sorry to hear about this! Sometimes, pancreatitis can be difficult to diagnose. We have a webinar going over the steps doctors should take to accurately diagnose pancreatitis, which you may want to talk to your son's doctor about: mission-cure.org/pancreatitis-diagnosis/
