Recruiting studies
- NCT05439291Recruiting
Comparing surgery and non-surgery for pilonidal disease
This study compares operative (surgery) versus non-operative (non-surgery) treatment options for pilonidal disease. It may help find which approach works better for people at Stanford Healthcare.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 8 years+ - NCT07321704Recruiting
Irrisept vs. Saline for Pilonidal Flap Surgery
This study compares two types of wound cleaning solutions used during surgery for pilonidal disease: an antiseptic called Irrisept (0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate) versus normal saline. The goal is to see if Irrisept helps prevent infection and improve healing after a flap-based closure procedure.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06286397RecruitingPhase 2
Cream to treat pilonidal sinus disease
This trial tests a cream applied to the skin to treat pilonidal sinus disease, a painful skin condition in the crease of the buttocks. The goal is to see if it can help reduce symptoms and improve healing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07417202Recruiting
Wound washing during surgery for pilonidal disease
This trial tests a special way of washing out the wound during surgery to treat pilonidal disease. It aims to help reduce infection or other problems after surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 8 months–30 years - NCT06964763Enrolling by invitation
Minimally invasive surgery for pilonidal sinus
This trial tests a mini-invasive surgery for pilonidal sinus that hasn't come back before. It may offer a less painful recovery and faster healing.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06406621Recruiting
Laser hair removal to prevent pilonidal disease in darker skin
This study tests whether laser hair removal can help prevent pilonidal disease from coming back in people with darker skin. It is designed for teenagers and young adults who have had pilonidal disease but are not currently having a flare-up.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 10–21 - NCT07408414Recruiting
Pain relief after laser pilonidal sinus treatment
This trial studies which local numbing method works best to reduce pain after laser treatment for pilonidal sinus. It may help people with this condition feel more comfortable after their procedure.
PožegaAges 18 years+ - NCT06508086Recruiting
Pilonidal sinus study for symptomatic patients
This trial tests a treatment for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone that can cause pain and infection. It looks at how well the procedure works for people with symptoms but without complications.
SohagAges Any age - NCT06324656Recruiting
PRP and Phenol for Pilonidal Sinus in Children
This study tests whether combining a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich plasma) with a crystallized phenol solution can better treat pilonidal sinus in children and teens. It may help heal the infection with fewer side effects.
IstanbulAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06683274Recruiting
Cleft lift surgery for complex pilonidal sinus
This trial tests a surgical technique called the Bascom cleft lift to see if it improves healing for people with complex or returning pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help wounds heal properly without further problems.
DordrechtAges 16 years+ - NCT07023952Recruiting
Phenol plus laser for pilonidal sinus healing study
This trial tests if adding phenol treatment to laser therapy helps the wound heal faster and better after treating pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone). It is for people who have this condition for the first time and have only a few sinus openings.
Istanbul, OtherAges 18 years+ - NCT07557589Recruiting
Radiofrequency Treatment for Pilonidal Disease Safety and Effectiveness
This study tests a radiofrequency (heat-based) treatment to safely and effectively treat pilonidal sinus disease—a condition where an infected cavity forms near the tailbone. Researchers will check if this non-surgical approach reduces infection, works well, and keeps patients satisfied over 6 months.
DaxAges 18 years+ - NCT07519850Recruiting
How Perianal Disease Affects Sexual Health and Quality of Life
This study explores how chronic perianal conditions—like anal fistulas or pilonidal disease—affect patients' sexual function and relationships. Researchers will ask you to complete surveys about your symptoms and sexual health to better understand this impact and help future patients.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pilonidal disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting pilonidal disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pilonidal disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pilonidal disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
