Osteopathic Manual Therapy Versus Ganglion Impar Block for Chronic Coccygodynia

Sponsor: Atlas University

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two treatment methods for chronic coccygodynia (tailbone pain) in adults. The study aims to determine which treatment provides better pain relief and functional improvement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does osteopathic manual therapy reduce pain and disability in people with chronic coccygodynia? Does ganglion impar block reduce pain and disability in people with chronic coccygodynia? Which treatment provides more sustained improvement during follow-up? Researchers will compare osteopathic manual therapy with ganglion impar block to evaluate their effects on pain, function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Receive either osteopathic manual therapy or ganglion impar block. Complete pain, disability, neuropathic pain, and quality-of-life assessments before treatment and during follow-up visits. Attend follow-up evaluations at 3 weeks and 3 months after treatment.
