Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients must have had symptoms of pancreatitis for at least one year.

2. Patients must be willing to be followed up regularly for at least one year.

3. Patients aged 5 to 75 years of age.

4. Individuals must have characteristic pancreatic pain that is either intermittent or
continuous (2 or more episodes during the last 12 months)
