Descrizione dettagliata

One complication of coccydynia is that it may become a chronic pain syndrome. Early and thorough medical attention may help patients avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. The hope is that this will help decrease the chances of the pain becoming persistent and disabling. Many patients with coccydynia experience relief of symptoms within weeks or months of onset, whether or not they receive medical treatment. The success of conservative treatment has been reported to be 90% .

The significance of musculoskeletal and myofascial pain in chronic pelvic pain is becoming increasingly established. the findings suggest a direct link between impairments in coccyx mobility, pain, and muscle spasm and dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, pelvic floor muscle impairments related to the coccyx may need to be addressed in treatment considerations .

There is a risk of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) from baby delivery. Many clinical guidelines recommend pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as the conservative treatment for PFD because pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) play a crucial role in development of PFD. PFM training is the most popular conservative intervention for PFD. Its role in PFM improvement is becoming more and more important along with the rapid development of rehabilitation medicine and it is more and more acceptable by women as their requirements for improvement of quality of life are getting stronger.

PFM function requires activation and relaxation at appropriate times and amounts to maintain pelvic organ support and closure, and enable passage. PFM tone that is greater than that required for a specific context (referred to as "increased" tone by the International Continence Society) could affect function and explain some features of pelvic health conditions, such as compromised relaxation or lengthening of PFM (eg, functional obstruction or interference with intercourse) and muscle ischemia (as implicated in some pain conditions). PFM tone could be increased by many factors, including stress, fear, anxiety, psychological trauma, injury, surgery or radiation, and hormonal, lifestyle, and occupational factors. Although plausible, evidence for increased PFM tone remains unclear

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Pelvic floor muscle down training and stretching exercise group
The participants will receive pelvic floor down training and stretching exercises, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.

Patient will be asked to breathe deeply and bring her awareness to her pelvic floor. Feel her muscles relax as she inhales and maintain position for 5 seconds and then release for the same amount of time. Do two to three sets of 10 throughout the day. Once she masters this, she can try holding and releasing for longer periods of time.

Make sure she is breathing while doing these exercises. It 's important to breathe all the way into her stomach (instead of only breathing into her chest). Keeping her belly relaxed. This is known as diaphragmatic breathing.

stretching exercises for piriform and iliopsoas muscles with 5 second stretch hold, 5 repetitions/session for 5 sessions/week for four weeks.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Pain intensity
Lasso di tempo: 4 weeks
Visual analogue scale will be used to measure the pain intensity before and after the treatment program. The VAS is a 10-point scale comprising a number from 0 through 10; 0 indicates "no pain", and 10 indicates the "worst imaginable pain". VAS is a valid & reliable pain rating scale
4 weeks

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Function disability
Lasso di tempo: 4 weeks
Oswestry Disability Index will be used to assess the function disability for all patients before and after the treatment program. It measures functional recovery and severity of pain, self-care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, social life, sleep, travel, and pain level across 10 items. As the total score increases, so does the level of disability. The maximum score is 50 points, with 31-50 classified as severe, 11-30 as moderate, and 1-10 as mild disability. The total score obtained from the patient is converted into percentage values to evaluate the disability percentage.
4 weeks
Pelvic floor muscle tone
Lasso di tempo: 4 weeks

Perineometer will be performed with the patient in the right lateral position. The perianal area will be cleaned with alcohol. Pressure- probe should be different for each individual. Probe sensor should be placed 3.5 cm inside the rectum where it coincides with PFM bulk. Patients will be asked to:

  • Breathe deeply and bring her awareness to her pelvic floor. Feel her muscles relax and drop down as she inhales.
  • Hold the position for 5 seconds and then release for the same amount of time. Do two to three sets of 10 throughout the day. Once she masters this, she can try holding and releasing for longer periods of time.
  • Make sure she is breathing while doing these exercises. It's important to breathe all the way into her stomach as she inhales (instead of only breathing into her chest). Keeping her belly relaxed helps. This is known as diaphragmatic breathing
