Dextrose Injection for Tailbone Pain Relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting dextrose (a sugar solution) under ultrasound guidance can relieve chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medication. The injection is designed to stimulate healing in the painful area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether injecting dextrose (a sugar solution) into the tailbone area can relieve chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications. If it works, it could offer patients a minimally invasive option to reduce pain and improve daily function.
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 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.
This trial tests different procedures to treat chronic tailbone pain that has not improved with conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication. It aims to find which method works best for patients who have not had any previous procedures for this condition.
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.
