Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN) technique and analgesic efficacy in patients with pancreatic cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis (EUS-CPN) can be used to treat abdominal pain in pancreatic cancer. It can be administered in three different ways, depending on the site of needle insertion: central injection, bilateral injection and celiac ganglia neurolysis. There was no evidence of a difference in response rates between the three techniques. Serious complications have been reported for BI and CGN but not for CI.
