About

The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of coccydynia (tailbone pain) in women who have given birth and to examine the relationship between the Paris Questionnaire and other relevant assessment tools. The relationship between the Paris questionnaire, the Low Back Outcome Score, and Quality of Life will also be evaluated.

Full description

Females aged between 18 and 65 years who have given birth will be included in the study. The postpartum duration of eligible participants will range from a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 2 years. At the beginning of the survey, participants will be informed about the study and asked to provide their informed consent.

Sociodemographic and clinical data including age, height, body weight, educational level, income status, family type, smoking status, engagement in regular physical activity, presence of chronic diseases, and obstetric history (i.e., most recent mode of delivery, number of pregnancies, number of births) will be recorded.
