Primary Outcome Measures:

Change from baseline in main score (SP) at 1 month [ Time Frame: one month ]
The main objective is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of botulinum toxin type A in refractory chronic proctalgia one month after a bilateral injection of 50 units of Botox ® in the ganglion Impar (total dose = 100 units) by calculating the main score (SP).

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To assess the adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 month ]
To assess the duration of action of the product (main score SP) [ Time Frame: 6 month ]
To assess the changing parameters of quality of life: global improvement score / treatment satisfaction assessed by digital scale, international pain scales (MPI, QDSA, QCD) / Beck score and Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) score [ Time Frame: 6 month ]
To assess the evolution of analgesics consumption [ Time Frame: 6 month ]
