The mechanism by which pancreatitis causes pain is unknown. The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is released after sensory nerve activation and promotes nociceptive signaling in models of visceral pain. We hypothesized that acute pancreatitis leads to the activation of pancreatic sensory neurons that release CGRP in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. This signal is ultimately transmitted to the brain, and pain is sensed.
