Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the innervation characteristics and nerve entry points of the musculus semispinalis capitis. This muscle, which is involved in the extension of the head and neck, is a large and long cervico-thoracic muscle innervated by the dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves. The study seeks to enhance the effectiveness of procedures like electromyography (EMG) electrode placement and botulinum toxin injections used for diagnosing and treating conditions related to head and neck pain.

Accurately identifying these nerve entry points is crucial for ensuring the safety and efficacy of treatments, particularly for conditions like cervical dystonia and headaches. While existing studies have focused on the innervation and nerve mapping of various muscles, there has been no specific research on the nerve entry points of the musculus semispinalis capitis. This study aims to provide detailed knowledge of these aspects, offering valuable guidance for interventions in this area.
