Summary
This completed study of 292 women looked at tailbone pain (coccydynia) after childbirth. Researchers used the Paris Questionnaire to measure pain and compared it with quality-of-life and functional scores. The goal was to see if this simple questionnaire could help doctors better understand and assess postpartum tailbone pain.
