Summary

Introduction: Neck pain is a global public health concern, that ranked 4th highest health condition in terms of disability as measured by years lived with disability. The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of one-session mesotherapy application with systemic therapy in treating neck pain related to cervical disk herniation.

Methods: This is a prospective parallel randomized controlled trial conducted with patients admitted to our emergency department with neck pain related to cervical disc herniation. A mixture of thiocolchicoside, lidocaine and tenoxicamwas administered via mesotherapy in one group, and intravenous administration of dexketoprofen was applied to the other group. We compared the changes in pain intensity at 60thminute, 120thminute and 24th hours after treatment using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),and adverse effects of the treatment methods among the study groups.

The mesotherapy was performed by an experienced and trained physician using a disposable 4 mm and 6 mm long, 30 Gauge needles. Initially, a pharmacological mixture of 1 cc (2 mg) thiocolchicoside, 1 cc (16.2 mg) lidocaine and 1 cc (5 mg) tenoxicam was prepared for each treatment session, and 0.1-0.2 cc of this mixture was applied to each injection point with a depth of 1-3 mm using point by point intradermal method without causing papules. In the systemic therapy group, we applied a 50 mg dexketoprofen (Revafen, Haver Pharma Pharmaceutical Co., Turkey) in 100 cc isotonic solution intravenously for 5 minutes.
