Comparing two neck pain injection techniques
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a cervical epidural block (an injection into the neck area) as a treatment for chronic neck pain. It aims to see if this injection can help reduce pain in people with nerve-related neck pain.
This study tests whether MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or ultrasound (sound wave imaging) can more accurately predict the depth needed for a cervical epidural steroid injection. If you have chronic neck pain and are scheduled for this injection, doctors want to see which imaging method works best to guide the needle safely.
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 trial compares two procedures—a nerve block injection and a radiofrequency treatment—to see which works better for lasting pain after shingles. It aims to help people with persistent pain in the neck, chest, or lower back.
This study tests if adding a nerve block to standard trigger point injections provides better relief for people with chronic neck pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome.
This study is testing a new way to guide a neck injection (called a cervical medial branch block) using ultrasound. It may help doctors do the procedure more safely and accurately.
