In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Coccydynia is a musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain in the coccygeal region, particularly exacerbated by sitting, and is associated with impaired quality of life and functional limitation. Although various conservative and interventional treatment options are available, there remains a need for effective and safe alternative therapies, especially in treatment-resistant cases. Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment modality that aims to reduce pain and improve function by stimulating tissue repair, particularly in ligamentous structures. While there is increasing evidence supporting its effectiveness in mechanical musculoskeletal pain conditions, the literature regarding its use in coccydynia is limited. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of dextrose prolotherapy on pain severity and functional status in patients diagnosed with coccydynia. This study is design
