Neck injection for dizziness linked to neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a local anesthetic injection in the neck (paravertebral lidocaine) can reduce dizziness that is related to neck pain or stiffness. It may help if your dizziness started along with neck pain, trauma, or limited movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had dizziness for at least 3 months that gets worse with neck movement, pain, or certain head positions.
- The dizziness is linked to neck pain, injury, or a known neck condition.
- If your dizziness started after a neck injury, it should have begun around the same time as the injury.
- You do not have certain other causes of dizziness (like migraine, Meniere's disease, or BPPV).
