Article Synopsis
- Neck pain is a common issue linked to musculoskeletal disorders, and this study introduces an ultrasound-guided technique called the Levator Scapulae Plane Block (LeSP Block) to treat it.
- Two female patients, aged 77 and 50, received the LeSP Block and both reported significant pain relief afterward, with one achieving complete remission.
- The study suggests that the LeSP Block is effective and simple to perform, recommending its use in managing shoulder and scapular pain, while calling for further anatomical studies to enhance the technique.
