结局指标
主要结局
Management of coccydynia
时间窗: 12 months
Management of coccydynia (pain in the coccyx). The main presenting symptom is pain. its management is the primary goal of treatment. The pain VAS was used to monitor patient response and clinical improvement throughout treatment, with patients ranking the severity of their pain at rest, between "no pain" (0) and "worst imaginable pain" (10). Patients were asked their pain level before treatment at each session; although, this did not form part of our formal data collection. Treatment continued until patients reported a VAS pain level ≤3, at which point they were discharged from the clinic.
