Testing capsaicin patch for tailbone pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a capsaicin 8% patch (QUTENZA®) works for pain in the tailbone area (coccygodygnia). It reviews past medical records of people who already received this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been treated for tailbone pain with a capsaicin 8% patch between August 2016 and August 2022
- You have not received a capsaicin 8% patch on the tailbone area before

This trial tests a capsaicin 8% patch — a pain-relieving skin patch — to see if it can reduce tailbone pain that has lasted more than 3 months. You may be eligible if you have tried other treatments without success and have nerve-related pain symptoms.
This study tests whether a high-dose capsaicin patch (made from hot pepper) can reduce chronic nerve pain in the pelvic and perineal area. Researchers want to see how patients with different levels of pain sensitivity respond to the treatment.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a capsaicin patch works better than duloxetine tablets to reduce painful nerve pain after chemotherapy. It aims to help people whose “gloves and socks” nerve pain has lasted after chemo.
This study tests a medicated patch called Qutenza (capsaicin) to treat chronic lower back pain that involves nerve damage. The patch is placed on the skin to help reduce pain signals.
This trial tests whether a capsaicin 8% skin patch can safely reduce nerve pain in children ages 12 to 17 who have had pain for more than 3 months after surgery or an injury. The patch is applied to the painful area and may offer relief without daily pills.
This study compares two pain-relieving treatments for long-term tailbone pain: one uses a needle to heat the nerve (radiofrequency ablation) and the other uses a chemical to destroy the nerve (phenol neurolysis). You may be able to join if you've already tried a nerve block without lasting relief.
