Emotions and pain relief for chronic tailbone pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how emotions and mental health affect the pain and quality of life of people getting a nerve block for tailbone pain. It aims to see if emotional factors influence how well the treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

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 tests a nerve block called a ganglion impar block to see if it helps reduce pain in people with tailbone pain that has lasted at least three months and hasn't improved with other treatments. It could provide a new way to manage your tailbone pain.
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 study compares two pain-relieving treatments for long-term tailbone pain: one uses a needle to heat the nerve (radiofrequency ablation) and the other uses a chemical to destroy the nerve (phenol neurolysis). You may be able to join if you've already tried a nerve block without lasting relief.
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 different injection-based treatments for chronic tailbone pain that hasn't improved with conservative care. The goal is to determine which method works best to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
