Celiac plexus blocks (CPBs) using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance provide significant pain relief in adults with chronic pancreatitis. We present on EUS-guided CPB for pediatric patients with abdominal pain from chronic pancreatitis or severe functional dyspepsia necessitating clinically assisted nutrition and hydration. Patients who underwent EUS-CPB were included and followed prospectively at 2-, 4-, and 8-weeks postprocedure about pain, enteral tolerance, and school/activity attendance. Thirteen patients underwent EUS-guided CPB with a total of 21 procedures. In the pancreatitis cohort, mean pain relief was 11.7 weeks for those who responded. In the functional dyspepsia cohort, mean improvement (in either pain or enteral tolerance) was 4.8 weeks. Symptom improvement varied between the two cohorts. Acute recurrent/chronic pancreatitis patients demonstrated more sustained relief than the functional dyspepsia cohort. This study adds to the limited data investigating the utility of EUS-CPB as part of a multimodal treatment plan in pediatrics.

Background: Disorders of gut-brain interactions (DGBI) affect more women, and marital quality may have been a factor that explains clinical manifestations of DGBI-however, the mechanism is unclear. This study aimed to elucidate supported relationships between DGBI with marital quality and clinical attributes in married Malay women.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved married Malay women with functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and FD-IBS overlap per Rome IV criteria.
