Comparing two treatments for pilonidal sinus disease
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with primary pilonidal sinus disease (your first time with this condition).
- You have no more than three sinus openings (small holes or pits) in the area.
- You have had no more than two previous infections (abscesses) in that area.
- You are able to give your written permission to join the study.

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 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.
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 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 laser-based procedure called SiLaC to treat chronic pilonidal sinus disease, a skin infection in the tailbone area. It aims to see if this less invasive method works well for patients.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel under the skin near the tailbone. It aims to find which option works best with less pain and faster recovery.
