This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to treat long-term tailbone pain. It tests whether a block near the tailbone or one in the lower back works better for people who haven't found relief from other treatments.
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.
This study tests a nerve block called a ganglion impar block to see if it helps reduce pain in people with tailbone pain that has lasted at least three months and hasn't improved with other treatments. It could provide a new way to manage your tailbone pain.
This study looks at how emotions and mental health affect the pain and quality of life of people getting a nerve block for tailbone pain. It aims to see if emotional factors influence how well the treatment works.
This study tests whether injecting dextrose (a sugar solution) into the tailbone area can relieve chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications. If it works, it could offer patients a minimally invasive option to reduce pain and improve daily function.
This study tests whether injecting dextrose (a sugar solution) under ultrasound guidance can relieve chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medication. The injection is designed to stimulate healing in the painful area.
