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.
This trial studies whether an injection near the phrenic nerve can help people with neck pain. It is only for certain types of neck/diaphragm-related problems and excludes people with nerve, injury, cancer, infection, or autoimmune causes.
This study compares two different injection methods to treat chronic neck pain coming from the small joints in your neck. Both methods use numbing medication to reduce pain; researchers want to see which one works better.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether nerve block injections can reduce pain from episodic migraines. It may help some people who get frequent migraine attacks but are not also using certain migraine preventions or strong pain medicines.
