Summary

This study investigates whether a high-concentration capsaicin patch can reduce chronic neuropathic pain in the pelvic and perineal region. Researchers will measure changes in pain sensitivity before and after treatment in 30 adults with long-lasting pelvic nerve pain. The goal is to see if the patch can desensitize overactive pain nerves in the treated area.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: high-concentration capsaicin patch
What this could lead to: If effective, this could offer a non-drug treatment option for chronic pelvic pain, potentially reducing reliance on pain medications.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. Capsaicin patches can cause burning, redness, or temporary pain at the application site.
