Comparing two methods of nerve block for pelvic pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given during hysterectomy surgery to see which one provides better pain relief afterward. You would receive one of the two injections, and neither carries extra risk beyond the standard procedure.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing injection (nerve block) to treat a condition where a nerve in the low back gets pinched, causing long-term buttock or low back pain. It aims to see which method works better.
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 study tests two different numbing injections (nerve blocks) after a planned cesarean delivery to see which one controls pain better. If you qualify, you'll receive one of the two blocks to help you recover with less pain after birth.
