Comparison of the Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Subacromial Injection Versus Subacromial Injection and Suprascapular Nerve Block on Pain, Function, and Sleep Quality in Rotator Cuff Lesions.

Rotator cuff lesions are common causes of shoulder pain. When not treated effectively, the functional loss associated with pain affects the quality of life and brings about psychosocial issues. In this study, prospective observational comparison of the effects of ultrasonography (USG) guided subacromial injection (SAI) versus subacromial injection combined with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) on pain, functionality and sleep quality in the treatment of shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatments due to rotator cuff lesions is made.

Comparison of the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided GON blockade using low and high concentrations of bupivacaine in chronic migraine.

Background/aim: In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively compare the effect of greater occipital nerve (GON) block performed with ultrasonography using low (0.3%) and high (0.5%) concentrations of bupivacaine on pain scores and patient satisfaction in chronic migraine (CM).

Comparison of greater occipital nerve blockade with radiofrequency and steroid in chronic migraine.

Objectives: The study aims to retrospectively compare steroid and radiofrequency treatments for the greater occipital nerve(GON) under ultrasound guidance in chronic migraine.

Methods: Monthly average headache attack frequency, attack duration, visual analog scale(VAS) and the number of days analgesics were taken were recorded. Under ultrasound guidance, GON block was administered once a week for a total of four sessions.

The effects of greater occipital nerve blockage with lidocaine on sleep characteristics in chronic migraine patients.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the effects of greater occipital nerve block (GONB) with lidocaine on sleep characteristics in patients with chronic migraine.

Materials And Methods: Twenty female patients who underwent GONB with lidocaine were included in the study. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale (PSAS), Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep Scale (DBAS), Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Scale (RLSSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and headache diary results before and after the treatment of the patients were compared.

The effectiveness of erector spinae plane block in patients with chronic low back pain.

Objective: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been widely used as a treatment strategy for a variety of acute and chronic painful conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the analgesic efficacy of ESPB in patients with chronic low back pain and radicular symptoms who had lumbar disc herniation.

Patients And Methods: Patients aged 18 to 80 years who had chronic low back pain with radicular symptoms associated with pain from lumbar disc herniation and had undergone ESPB were included in the study retrospectively.
