Emotions and tailbone pain study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with chronic tailbone pain (coccydynia) understand and express their emotions—a trait called alexithymia. The goal is to see if there is a link between emotional awareness and the severity of tailbone pain.

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 looks at a condition called alexithymia (difficulty identifying and describing emotions) in people who have chronic pain and a spinal cord stimulator. It aims to help doctors better understand how emotions affect pain treatment.
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 looks at how accurately people can describe their pain and related symptoms. It may help researchers improve how pain is measured in future studies.
This study looks at how emotional intelligence (understanding and managing emotions) relates to chronic pain in the face or jaw. If you have temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) or have no chronic pain, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more.
