Neck pain is a prevalent issue associated with musculoskeletal disorders. This study describes the interfascial Levator Scapulae Plane Block (LeSP Block) technique, using ultrasound guidance for local anesthetic administration to treat chronic neck pain. Two patients, 1 77-year-old female and 1 50-year-old female, underwent the LeSP Block. Immediate postprocedure pain relief was achieved in both, with 1 patient experiencing complete pain remission (VAS = 0) and the other showing significant improvement (VAS = 2) after 30 days. The LeSP Block demonstrated effectiveness and ease of use, suggesting its inclusion in pain management strategies for shoulder girdle and scapular pain. Further anatomical studies aimed at improving the anatomical description of the accessory spinal nerve are recommended to refine the technique.

Open surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) may cause severe pain due to tenotomies and pelvic-femoral osteotomies. This study aims to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided Lumbar Erector Spina Plane (L-ESP) Block in pediatric patients undergoing DDH surgery. Sixty children scheduled for DDH surgery were randomly assigned into two groups.

: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) and lumbar erector spinae plane (L-ESP) blocks, both administered with a high volume (40 mL) of local anesthetic (LA), for multimodal postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip surgery. : This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized study that included 75 adult patients who were divided into three equal groups: control, PENG, and L-ESP. The study compared pain intensity, morphine consumption, time to first morphine request, and postoperative satisfaction between the control group, which received standard multimodal analgesia, and the block groups, which received PENG or L-ESP block in addition to multimodal analgesia.

Background & Aims: Previous studies have identified adrenergic receptor sites in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) of animals and humans. A beta3 adrenoceptor has been identified and cloned. The binding site for this receptor has been found in the rat LES in vitro.
