Abstract

Myofascial pain is one of the most common causes of regional pain yet with no definitive treatment modality. This randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy of deep cervical plexus block versus placebo injection (sham block) for the treatment of myofascial neck and shoulder pain in terms of analgesic consumption and pain during a follow up period of two weeks after performing the block.
