Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block in the Management of Refractory Somatosensory Tinnitus Following Whiplash: Prospective Series in 30 Patients.

Objective: Whiplash-associated disorder comprises of a constellation of persistent symptoms after neck trauma. Tinnitus that develops postwhiplash is termed somatosensory tinnitus. The objective is to assess the role of intermediate cervical plexus block (iCPB) in patients with somatosensory tinnitus secondary to whiplash.

The incidence of post cholecystectomy pain (PCP) syndrome at 12 months following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective evaluation in 200 patients.

Objectives: Post cholecystectomy pain syndrome can cause significant distress, impairs quality of life and exacerbations often result in emergency visits. Poorly controlled postoperative pain is a recognized cause of persistent postsurgical pain. Abdominal myofascial pain syndrome is an underdiagnosed cause of persistent pain in this cohort.

Effectiveness of Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block in Whiplash-Associated Disorder: A Prospective Observational Trial in Fifty Patients.

Background: Whiplash trauma can result in a range of symptoms, including chronic neck pain, headache, facial pain, upper back pain, and tinnitus, which comprises whiplash-associated disorder (WAD). Intermediate cervical plexus block (iCPB) is a novel intervention that targets the upper cervical nerves and anecdotal reports suggest benefits in WAD.

Objectives: We hypothesized that the cervical plexus may have a role in the pathogenesis of WAD and blocking the cervical plexus may provide analgesia.

Interventional pathway in the management of refractory post cholecystectomy pain (PCP) syndrome: a 6-year prospective audit in 60 patients.

Objectives: Post cholecystectomy pain syndrome can affect over a third of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Acute exacerbations can result in recurrent emergency admission with excessive healthcare utilization. Standard surgical management appears to focus on visceral aetiology.
