Block comparison for tailbone pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 compares different injection-based treatments for chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with conservative care. The goal is to determine which method works best to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
This study compares two types of a targeted procedure (radiofrequency ablation) to treat long-lasting tailbone pain. It is designed for people who have already gotten good relief from a nerve block injection but whose pain has come back.
This trial compares two types of pain-block injections (erector spinae plane block versus quadro-iliac plane block) given during lower back surgery to see which controls pain better. It may help you have less pain and need fewer pain medicines after your operation.
