Nerve blocks for chronic neck pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks for treating chronic neck pain that comes from the joints in the neck. The goal is to find out if one block works better or is safer than the other for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 tests two types of nerve blocks to see which works better for pain after back-of-the-neck surgery. It aims to help patients have less pain and use less opioid medicine.
