Capsaicin patch for chronic pelvic and perineal pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a high-dose capsaicin patch (made from hot pepper) can reduce chronic nerve pain in the pelvic and perineal area. Researchers want to see how patients with different levels of pain sensitivity respond to the treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a capsaicin 8% skin patch can safely reduce nerve pain in children ages 12 to 17 who have had pain for more than 3 months after surgery or an injury. The patch is applied to the painful area and may offer relief without daily pills.
This study tests if a capsaicin patch (a hot pepper extract) can reduce finger pain in people with osteoarthritis who also have nerve-like pain. It's for those who haven't gotten enough relief from standard painkillers.
This trial tests a capsaicin 8% patch — a pain-relieving skin patch — to see if it can reduce tailbone pain that has lasted more than 3 months. You may be eligible if you have tried other treatments without success and have nerve-related pain symptoms.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a capsaicin patch works better than duloxetine tablets to reduce painful nerve pain after chemotherapy. It aims to help people whose “gloves and socks” nerve pain has lasted after chemo.
This study looks at how well a capsaicin 8% patch (QUTENZA®) works for pain in the tailbone area (coccygodygnia). It reviews past medical records of people who already received this treatment.
This study looks at what “response profiles” different people have after treatment with high-concentration capsaicin for nerve-related pain. It may help doctors predict who benefits from capsaicin by measuring changes in symptoms and nerve sensitivity.
