About this study

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain and its prevalence in the population is reported to be 21-30%. In this study, the investigators compare the effect of two regional anesthesia block techniques with the ultrasound guidance.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Complaint of myofascial pain
  • Pain that is rated at least 3 on a numerical rating scale (NRS, 0 = no pain, 10 = the worst pain)

Exclusion criteria

  • pregnancy
  • presence of coagulopathy, or the use of anticoagulants
  • a history of surgery on the block area
  • allergic to bupivacaine
  • decline to participate

Treatment and study plan

Rhomboid intercostal block

Procedure

two regional anesthesia block techniques are applied

Other names: Erector spinae plane block

Primary outcomes

  1. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    Time frame: Change from baseline to minutes 30, day 1, week 1, 2, 4, 6 after the block

    Pain Score Change The 11-point NRS consists of numbers between 0 and 10 where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "maximum pain." The patient is instructed to identify one number between 0 and 10, which is best representative of their pain intensity.
