Summary

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral erector spina plane block application in myofascial pain syndrome.

Detailed description

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral erector spina plane block application in myofascial pain syndrome by comparing trigger point injection. Group 1 only one time erector spinae plane block and group 2 once a week total three times trigger point injection. Before the application, one week after application and one month after first application the investigators aimed to compare pressure pain threshold with algometer, visual analog scale score, short form-36 score, neck disability index score, beck depression scale score for the two groups. Each group has 30 participants, total 60 participants included this study. The investigators planned to show that bilateral erector spinae plane block can be used as an effective and safe method in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, since it is easier to apply than other invasive procedures used in the treatment and has a very low complication profile.
