Two nerve blocks for pudendal neuralgia pain relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if combining two nerve blocks—one near the pudendal nerve and one at the ganglion impar—can better relieve chronic pelvic pain from pudendal neuralgia. The goal is to find a more effective treatment for people who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have pudendal neuralgia diagnosed with specific criteria (pain in the groin/genital area, worse when sitting, doesn't wake you at night, no numbness, and temporary relief from a nerve block).
- You have tried conservative treatments for more than 3 months, and they didn't work well or caused bad side effects.
- You do not have pelvic pain from cancer, autoimmune disease, or recent pelvic surgery.
- You are not pregnant, not taking blood thinners, and do not have an active infection or bleeding problems.

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 compares two ways to give a pudendal nerve block—one through the vagina, one through the buttock with X-ray guidance—to see which works better for women with pudendal neuralgia (nerve pain in the pelvic area). It may help find a more effective and comfortable treatment option.
This trial tests if a numbing injection into the pudendal nerve can reduce pain after one month. It's for people with pudendal neuralgia that hasn't improved with medication.
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This trial tests a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency applied to the nerve root (dorsal root ganglion) to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain from a pinched nerve. The goal is to find the best level of stimulation to make the treatment work better.
This trial tests if robot-assisted surgery can relieve pain caused by trapped nerves in the pelvic area. It may help people who have not improved with medication.
