Summary

Coccydynia or coccygeal pain is a painful syndrome that affects the coccyx region. The most important etiological factors in the formation of coccidynia are; external and internal trauma. Patients with coccydynia typically complain of coccyx pain. This pain increases with prolonged sitting, bending backwards during sitting, standing for long periods of time, and standing up after sitting. Conservative treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), levator sudden relaxation exercises, seat cushions, and transcutaneous electrical simulation have all been used to relieve pain, but these methods are ineffective in 10% of patients. In the patient group unresponsive to conservative treatments, there are various interventional treatment options, including caudal epidural steroid injection, ganglion impar blocks, radiofrequency ablation of the sacral nerves, block of the coccygeal nerves and radiofrequency ablation, and coccygectomy.

Conditions

  • Coccyx Disorder

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Coccygeal nerve radiofrequency ablation

During the procedure, after imaging the sacral and coccygeal corns with ultrasonography, a radiofrequency ablation needle is inserted at the level of the coccygeal horn and radiofrequency ablation is applied at 90 degrees for 60 seconds.
