Summary

This prospective randomized controlled study aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch block and ipsilateral cervical erector spinae plane block in patients with cervical facetogenic pain.

Patients with chronic cervical facet-mediated pain will be randomized into two intervention groups. Pain intensity, functional status, meaningful pain response rates, analgesic consumption, and patient satisfaction will be evaluated during follow-up.

The primary objective is to determine whether cervical erector spinae plane block provides comparable short-term pain relief to cervical medial branch block.

Conditions

  • Cervical Facetogenic Pain
  • Chronic Neck Pain
  • Cervical Facet Joint Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch block

Ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch block performed at clinically suspected symptomatic cervical facet levels using local anesthetic for diagnostic and analgesic purposes.

OTHER

Ultrasound-guided cervical erector spinae plane block

Ultrasound-guided ipsilateral cervical erector spinae plane block performed at the symptomatic cervical level using local anesthetic for analgesic purposes.
