Predictors of Long-Term Response to Ganglion Impar Block With or Without Caudal Epidural Steroid Injection in Chronic Coccydynia: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Background Ganglion impar block (GIB) is a commonly used interventional option for refractory chronic coccydynia. Caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) targets the sacral and coccygeal roots and may theoretically augment the analgesic efficacy of GIB. Evidence comparing GIB alone with a combined GIB and CESI approach, however, remains limited.
