About

To date, focused and radial types of ESWT have been effectively used in the treatment of coccydynia. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of ESWT in coccydynia have not been done. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate comparative effects of radial and focused ESWT options on coccydynia.
