Core Tip	Pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) has multiple but simultaneously occurring mechanisms. Recent data have shown expression of nociceptors and neurotrophic factors in different neural locations. The expression of these and other neural chemokines (fractalkine) have positive correlation with pain. Pain also results from global sensitization. Among the therapeutic modalities, beneficial effects have been demonstrated with methionine containing antioxidant micronutrients supplements and pregabalin. Of the pancreatic enzymes, only non-enteric coated preparations might benefit a subgroup of patients. The threshold for performing celiac neurolysis should be high in view of variable response across clinical trials.
