Summary
This study compares two minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) techniques for chronic tailbone pain (coccydynia) that hasn't improved with other treatments. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a single-level or double-level RFA procedure. Researchers will measure pain relief and quality of life for up to two months after the procedure to see which method works better.
