Laser treatment study for pilonidal cysts
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how well laser surgery works for pilonidal cysts, including cysts that came back after other treatments. It aims to help doctors understand if laser treatment is a good option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at a laser-based surgery called SiLaC for treating pilonidal sinus disease, a common condition that causes painful lumps near the tailbone. The goal is to see how well this laser technique works in people having surgery for this condition.
This study compares two minor procedures for treating pilonidal disease (small tunnels under the skin near the tailbone). One group gets a laser treatment plus a minor 'pit-picking' procedure, while the other gets just the pit-picking. The goal is to see which approach works better with less pain and faster recovery.
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 technique called the Bascom cleft lift to see if it improves healing for people with complex or returning pilonidal sinus disease. It aims to help wounds heal properly without further problems.
This study compares treating a pilonidal cyst (a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone) with a laser fiber versus traditional surgery, to see which is more cost-effective. If you are eligible, you would get one of these surgical treatments and help doctors understand which approach works better.
This study tests a radiofrequency (heat-based) treatment to safely and effectively treat pilonidal sinus disease—a condition where an infected cavity forms near the tailbone. Researchers will check if this non-surgical approach reduces infection, works well, and keeps patients satisfied over 6 months.
