Nerve freezing for cancer-related pelvic pain
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study is looking at how well freezing the pudendal nerve (the nerve that supplies the genital area) helps relieve severe pelvic pain caused by cancer. It is for people whose pain is not controlled by other treatments and who are already planning to have this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a history of or current pelvic cancer (like cancer in the cervix, prostate, or bladder).
- Your pelvic pain is not well-controlled with your current pain treatments.
- Your pain is in the genital area, which is likely caused by the cancer.
- You are already scheduled for a CT-guided nerve freezing procedure (pudendal nerve cryoneurolysis) as part of your standard care.

This trial tests two types of pain-relieving nerve blocks for people with severe cancer pain in the pelvis or perineum that has not improved enough with standard stepwise pain medicines. It may help reduce pain and lessen bothersome side effects from pain pills.
This trial compares two types of a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency to treat chronic pain in the pudendal nerve (a nerve in the pelvic area). The goal is to find out if a higher-voltage, longer-duration treatment works better than the standard one.
This study tests a new way to treat chronic pain by freezing specific nerves under imaging guidance. The goal is to see if this reduces pain and improves quality of life.
This study watches how well a freezing procedure works for chronic pain over 6 to 12 months. Your doctor thinks this procedure could help your pain, and the study simply tracks your recovery through questionnaires to help doctors understand if it works.
This trial tests a nerve block (ganglion impar block) to manage severe pain in the perineal area caused by certain cancers. It may be an option if standard pain medicines aren't working well or cause side effects.
This study tests whether a numbing nerve block (injection) can predict if a procedure called cryoneurolysis (freezing a nerve to relieve pain) will work for people with chronic muscle or joint pain or spasticity. It may help you if you have long-lasting pain or muscle tightness.
