ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS:
No prospective comparison of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided direct celiac ganglia neurolysis (EUS - CGN) vs. EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS - CPN) has been reported. The aim of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of EUS - CGN and EUS - CPN in providing pain relief from upper abdominal cancer pain in a multicenter randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Patients with upper abdominal cancer pain were randomly assigned to treatment using either EUS - CGN or EUS - CPN. Evaluation was performed at Day 7 postoperatively using a pain scale of 0 to 10. Patients for whom pain decreased to ≤ 3 were considered to have a positive response, and those experiencing a decrease in pain to ≤ 1 were considered to be completely responsive. Comparison between the two groups was performed using intention-to-treat analysis. The primary endpoint was the difference in treatment response rates between EUS - CGN and EUS - CPN at postoperative Day 7. Secondary endpoints included differences in complete response rates, pain scores, duration of pain relief, and incidence of adverse effects.RESULTS:
A total of 34 patients were assigned to each group. Visualization of ganglia was possible in 30 cases (88 %) in the EUS - CGN group. The positive response rate was significantly higher in the EUS - CGN group (73.5 %) than in the EUS - CPN group (45.5 %; P = 0.026). The complete response rate was also significantly higher in the EUS - CGN group (50.0 %) than in the EUS - CPN group (18.2 %; P = 0.010). There was no difference in adverse events or duration of pain relief between the two groups.CONCLUSIONS:
EUS - CGN is significantly superior to conventional EUS - CPN in cancer pain relief. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION http//www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm (ID UMIN-000002536).
