Detailed Description

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain and its prevalence in the population is reported to be 21-30%. In this study, the investigators compare the effect of two regional anesthesia block techniques with the ultrasound guidance.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Change from baseline to minutes 30, day 1, week 1, 2, 4, 6 after the block
Pain Score Change The 11-point NRS consists of numbers between 0 and 10 where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "maximum pain." The patient is instructed to identify one number between 0 and 10, which is best representative of their pain intensity.
Change from baseline to minutes 30, day 1, week 1, 2, 4, 6 after the block
