Study of pudendal nerve injections for nerve pain treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You must have pudendal neuralgia diagnosed using specific criteria called 'Nantes criteria'
- Your MRI must be normal or not show another cause for your pain
- You must have tried at least one seizure medicine and one antidepressant for the pain, at the highest dose you could tolerate, without enough relief

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests a medical program designed to help nerves heal better after surgery for long-term pelvic or buttock nerve pain. It looks at results one year after a minimally invasive operation to free compressed nerves.
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.
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medicine (lidocaine) into the painful area helps people with chronic, unexplained pain in the anal or perineal region. It is for patients who have not gotten relief from standard treatments and whose MRI shows no other cause.
