Summary

This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment—pulsed and conventional—for people with long-lasting tailbone pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. Ninety adults aged 18 to 80 will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The goal is to see which method better reduces pain, improves daily function, and enhances sleep quality.
