NCT01128478

Brief Summary

Pain relapse during oral refeeding occurs in at least one-fifth of patients with acute pancreatitis. The study hypothesis is that early administered enteral tube feeding might reduce a risk of pain relapse and shorten the length of hospital stay in patients with acute pancreatitis.
