Coccydynia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Effects of Levator Ani Release and Post Isometric Relaxation on Pain, Disability, and Quality of Life Among Patients With Coccydynia
To compare the effects of levator ani release and post isometric relaxation on pain, disability and quality of life among patients with coccydynia
Coccygodynia, also known as coccalgia, coccygeal neuralgia, or tailbone pain, is the word used to describe the pain symptoms that develop in the coccyx region. The discomfort is typically brought on while the person is sitting down, but it can also start when the person stands up. The majority of instances get well within a few weeks to months, but for certain people, the pain might last longer and have an adverse effect on quality of life. Due to the complexity of coccygeal pain in these people, management can be challenging. The aim of the study is to compare effects of levator ani release exercises and post isometric in patients with coccydynia. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Jinnah hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique on 46 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A and group B. Group A will be treated with levator ani release exercises and Group B will be treated with post isometric relaxation techniques. Outcome measure will be conducted through pain and disability questionnaire at baseline and after 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups. ;
