Nerve block injection for myofascial pain syndrome
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a type of nerve block injection (called serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) guided by ultrasound to see if it helps relieve pain from myofascial pain syndrome. It may be a treatment option for people with MPS who haven't had recent procedures.

This trial tests two different nerve-block techniques to reduce pain after breast surgery. The study compares a serratus block with an ESP block—both are injections of numbing medication near nerves—to see which works better for managing pain without heavy opioid use.
This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief after shoulder surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (SPSIP and ESP blocks) to see which one works better for long-term pain after a single-sided breast surgery like mastectomy. It aims to find a safer, more effective way to manage chronic pain after surgery.
This study tests whether a special injection between the ribs can reduce pain after minimally invasive heart bypass surgery. The injection is given before surgery to help with pain control and may reduce the need for strong pain medicines.
This study compares two ways to manage pain after minimally invasive heart surgery: a nerve block injection near the ribs or injecting numbing medicine into the wound. The goal is to find which method works better for reducing pain and your need for painkillers.
This study compares two ways to treat chronic muscle pain in the upper back: a nerve block (numbing injection near the spine) and trigger point injections (shots directly into painful muscle knots). The goal is to see which approach works better for long-lasting relief.
