Summary

This study tests whether a high-dose capsaicin patch (made from chili peppers) can reduce pain in people with chronic tailbone pain (coccygodynia). About 188 adults whose pain has lasted over 3 months and hasn't improved with standard treatments will receive either the active patch or a low-dose placebo patch. The main goal is to see if more people feel better after 60 days with the active patch.
