Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation (TEA) is a noninvasive acupuncture method that can be self-administered at home without needles. TEA transmits a weak electrical current using electrodes placed at acupoints and has shown to safely reduce pain in other gastrointestinal conditions. This study will help elucidate if TEA is effective in treating abdominal pain in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis (CP).
