Summary

Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is an interfacial plane block described in 2016. It creates analgesia at T2-T9 levels in the hemithorax by applying local anesthetic to the fascia between the rhomboid muscle and the intercostal muscle. It has been used effectively in patients with chronic pain. Recently published report has shown that rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) may provide effective pain control for myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), too. MPS is a regional pain syndrome characterized by trigger points detected in one or more regional muscle groups. The investigators planned a prospective observational study, a total of 30 patients who will apply to our clinic with MPS, will register in research. The investigators will perform ultrasound-guided RIB, and evaluate the clinical outcomes.

ultrasound guided rhomboid intercostal block

A linear ultrasound probe was medially placed in the sagittal plane on the medial border of the scapula at the T5-T7 level. We inserted a 22-gauge needle into the fascial plane between the rhomboid major and intercostal muscles in a craniocaudal direction and injected 15 ml mixture of 0.25% bupivacaine with 8 mg of dexamethasone into the fascial plane.
