Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of manipulation combined with exercise as a treatment for patients with coccydynia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subject: Coccydynia is a painful condition characterized by inflammation and discomfort in the coccyx region, commonly known as the tailbone. It can significantly affect an individual's quality of life by impairing their ability to sit, stand, or engage in daily activities. Various treatment approaches have been explored to alleviate the symptoms of coccydynia, including manipulation techniques and exercise interventions. However, to date, there is a scarcity of research investigating the combined effects of manipulation and exercise for patients with coccydynia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combining manipulation techniques with exercise interventions for patients diagnosed with coccydynia, a painful condition affecting the coccyx region. Despite the debilitating impact of coccydynia on daily activities and quality of life, there is a limited understanding of the optimal treatment approach for this condition. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by investigating the potential benefits of combining manipulation and exercise in managing coccydynia.
