Brief Summary   Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of pancreas which is associated with significant abdominal pain. Relief of pain is an important component of management of patients with pancreatitis which can be achieved either by opioid analgesics or NSAIDs. Though both are effective for pain relief, NSAIDs have additional anti inflammatory property. There are only few studies either on NSAIDs or on opioids for pain relief in patients with acute pancreatitis. Also there is no definite recommendation for the most suitable analgesic for pain relief in acute pancreatitis. Hence, the present study is designed to compare diclofenac, an NSAID, with pentazocine, an opioid, for pain relief in patients with acute pancreatitis.
