Abstract EN
Coccydynia can be difficult to resolve with conventional treatment options.
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation has recently emerged as a treatment for chronic pain, but its application has not been described in the context of coccydynia.
We used DRG stimulation treatment in a patient suffering from intractable coccyx pain.
At long-term follow-up, the patient experienced a decrease in pain intensity and improvement in function, without any complications.
DRG stimulation may be a treatment modality for coccydynia refractory to other approaches.
