Radiofrequency treatment for tailbone pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (conventional vs. pulsed) for chronic tailbone pain. It aims to find which method provides better relief for people who haven't gotten help from medications or other therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares two treatments for long-lasting tailbone pain (coccydynia) that hasn't been helped by a nerve block. One treatment uses radiofrequency (heat) and the other uses a chemical (phenol) to calm the nerve. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
This trial tests a new type of treatment (high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency) that uses a special needle to deliver energy to the nerve root in your lower back. The goal is to see if it can reduce chronic leg pain caused by a pinched or irritated nerve.
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.
This study tests a nerve block injection to treat tailbone pain that has lasted at least three months and hasn't been helped by other treatments. The block is done with ultrasound guidance to make it more precise.
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.
