Radiofrequency Treatment for Pilonidal Disease Safety and Effectiveness
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an infected pilonidal sinus (not an acute abscess requiring immediate surgery)
- You are 18 years or older
- You have health insurance coverage in France
- You speak French fluently
- You can commit to 6 months of follow-up visits and assessments
- If you can become pregnant, you use highly effective birth control (less than 1% failure rate)

This trial tests a treatment for pilonidal sinus, a small tunnel in the skin near the tailbone that can cause pain and infection. It looks at how well the procedure works for people with symptoms but without complications.
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.
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 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.
