Cervical Medial Branch Block Versus Ipsilateral Cervical Erector Spinae Plane Block
Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent
Summary
This prospective randomized controlled study aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch block and ipsilateral cervical erector spinae plane block in patients with cervical facetogenic pain. Patients with chronic cervical facet-mediated pain will be randomized into two intervention groups. Pain intensity, functional status, meaningful pain response rates, analgesic consumption, and patient satisfaction will be evaluated during follow-up. The primary objective is to determine whether cervical erector spinae plane block provides comparable short-term pain relief to cervical medial branch block.
