Summary

Superior cluneal nerve entrapment (SCNE) is an underrecognized cause of chronic low back pain and gluteal pain that may mimic lumbar spine disorders. Ultrasound-guided proximal superior cluneal nerve block has increasingly been used in routine clinical practice .Diagnostic superior cluneal nerve block is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis, whereas ultrasound-guided proximal superior cluneal nerve block has emerged as a therapeutic option.

This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided proximal superior cluneal nerve block in patients with clinically diagnosed superior cluneal nerve entrapment who undergo the procedure as part of routine clinical care. Pain intensity, disability, and neuropathic pain characteristics will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up to evaluate treatment outcomes.

Conditions

  • Superior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment
  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-Guided Proximal Superior Cluneal Nerve Block

Ultrasound-guided proximal superior cluneal nerve block will be performed as part of routine clinical care in patients with clinically diagnosed superior cluneal nerve entrapment. The proximal superior cluneal nerve will be targeted using a standardized ultrasound-guided interfascial technique. A standardized injectate will be administered according to the study protocol. All procedures will be performed by an experienced pain physician using the same technique for all participants.
