The Effect of Therapeutic Ultrasound on Pain in Coccydynia
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Coccygodynia often develops from an inappropriate sitting position or when standing up from a sitting position. In the advanced stages of coccydynia, the pain becomes continuous. Conservative treatment, interventional procedures and surgical treatment are used in treatment. Medical treatment, physical therapy and local injection applications are accepted as conservative treatment methods.Among the physical therapy modalities, ultrasound has been used for many years in diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. Ultrasound, which is used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, can be applied in two ways as continuous and intermittent for therapeutic purposes.
A total of 52 patients who applied between 01/04/2021 and 01/04/2022 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Continuous ultrasound will be performed in 26 patients and intermittent ultrasound will be performed in 26 patients. Randomization will be determined by the treatment protocol prepared in closed envelopes.Within the scope of the study, the age, height, weight, trauma history, duration of complaint, severity of pain and Oswestry Disability Index scale will be recorded before the interventions. The patients will be followed up at the 3rd week and 3rd month after the treatment. The Oswestry Disability Index scale will be filled in to assess the severity of disability resulting from pain in the patient. Pain severity will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
Data will be entered into SPSS (version: 22.0) IBM SPSS statistical package program. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, min-max, median values will be given in the data obtained by measurement. Percentage and frequency distribution will be given in the data obtained by counting. In statistical evaluations, parametric tests will be used for data showing normal distribution, and non-parametric tests will be used for data not showing normal distribution. Relationships will be compared according to the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient. Chi-square test will be applied to categorical data. P<0.05 will be considered significant.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Intermittent ultrasound
Patients with coccydynia will receive 10 sessions of physical therapy, 5 days a week for 2 weeks.
Intermittent ultrasound will be used as a physical therapy agent.
Intermittent ultrasound treatment will be applied to the muscles of the bilateral coccyx region at a dose of 1.0W/cm², at a frequency of 1 Megahertz, for 3+3 minutes.

Disability
Time Frame: Change of Owstery Disability Index between baseline and at 3 weeks
|
Disability assessment will be made using the Owstery Disability Index.
The scale consists of 10 items in total.
Each item is graded between 0-5.
As the total score increases, the level of disability increases.
The maximum score is 50 points.
The total score obtained from the patient will be converted into the percentage system and the disability percentage will be calculated and evaluated.
