Phenol plus laser for pilonidal sinus healing study
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding phenol treatment to laser therapy helps the wound heal faster and better after treating pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone). It is for people who have this condition for the first time and have only a few sinus openings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- This is your first time being treated for pilonidal sinus (not a return of the problem)
- You have three or fewer small openings or pits in the affected area
- You do not have a current abscess (infected pocket of pus) in the area
- You are not pregnant, and you have no serious health problems that would make surgery risky

This trial compares laser treatment to crystallized phenol for a common skin condition called pilonidal sinus. Both are minimally invasive options that may help avoid surgery.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments (SILAC and phenol) for pilonidal sinus disease, a skin condition that can cause small tunnels or cysts near the tailbone. The goal is to see which option works better with less recovery time.
This trial studies which local numbing method works best to reduce pain after laser treatment for pilonidal sinus. It may help people with this condition feel more comfortable after their procedure.
This study tests whether combining a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich plasma) with a crystallized phenol solution can better treat pilonidal sinus in children and teens. It may help heal the infection with fewer side effects.
This trial compares three ways to treat pilonidal sinus (a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone). It looks at which method works best: just removing the pit, using a chemical called phenol, or doing both together.
This trial tests a surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus, a small hole or tunnel in the skin near the tailbone, in children and teens aged 12 to 17 who have the condition for the first time. It aims to help heal and prevent the problem from coming back.
