Core Tip	Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis should be considered as the adjunct method to standard pain management. It moderately reduces pain in pancreatic cancer, without eliminating it. Nearly all patients need to continue opioid use, often at a constant dose. The central technique is easy to perform, but intraganglia injection seems to give better results. This review focuses on methods of celiac neurolysis, with details about endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis, indications and outcomes with regard to efficacy and safety, novel techniques, and predictors of pain response.
