Interventional group I

Intervention Details: Participants in this arm will receive a Ganglion Impar Block, a minimally invasive injection aimed at blocking pain signals from the coccyx region (Ganglion Impar Block using Triamcinolone Acetate (40 mg) and Bupivacaine (0.25%) administered with a 22G Spinal Needle under Fluoroscopic Guidance). Participants in this arm will receive a Ganglion Impar Block, a minimally invasive procedure involving the administration of Triamcinolone Acetate (a corticosteroid) and Bupivacaine (a local anesthetic). This is intended to block pain signals originating from the coccyx region. The procedure will be conducted under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure precise delivery. The injection will be complemented by a structured physical therapy program, including heat therapy, ultrasound, posture training, core strengthening exercises, and mobility activities to improve pain relief and functional capacity.

Interventional group II

Intervention Details: Participants in this arm will receive a Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection using Triamcinolone Acetate (40 mg), Bupivacaine (0.25%), and Normal Saline (6 mL) administered with a 22G Spinal Needle under Fluoroscopic Guidance), designed to deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the epidural space, thereby reducing inflammation and pain. This will also be paired with a tailored physical therapy program, focusing on similar modalities as in Arm 1, including heat therapy, ultrasound, posture training, and strengthening exercises. The objective is to enhance pain relief and functional recovery in the context of coccydynia.
