Abstract:

Pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas. Pain management is a critical component of treatment, as severe abdominal pain is a hallmark of the disease. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has emerged as a non-invasive technique that can be combined with conventional pain management strategies to enhance analgesic effects. A 27-year-old woman with severe pancreatitis of mixed etiology was admitted to the ICU with intense abdominal pain. HILT (ND-YAG, 1064 nm, BTL 6000 with Robotic Scanning System, 30W, Czech Republic) was introduced as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment, providing effective and sustained pain relief with reduced opioid use. This case highlights the potential benefits of incorporating HILT into the pain management regimen for acute pancreatitis, suggesting a novel approach to improving patient outcomes and reducing reliance on opioids.

Keywords: acute pancreatitis; high-intensity laser therapy; pain management; adjuvant analgesic therapy.
