Background: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common disease with easy persistence and recurrence. In clinical practice, although many methods have been adopted to prevent and treat MPS, the control of MPS is still not satisfactory.
Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of buccal acupuncture, inactivation of trigger points (MTrPs), and their combination in the treatment of MPS.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effects of performing stellate ganglion block (SGB) at two different cervical vertebra levels (C6 and C7) using ultrasound guidance on 130 patients.
- The modified C6 group had a shorter operation time and fewer angle adjustments compared to the C7 group, with both groups experiencing some adverse reactions like Horner Syndrome.
- While the C6 approach was more efficient, there was no significant difference in the rate of adverse reactions or the effectiveness of the block between the two groups.
