Neck Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of Cervical Facet Joint Nerve Blocks: A Randomized, Prospective, Double-Blind Controlled Evaluation
1. To demonstrate whether:
i. Facet joint nerve blocks have therapeutic value beyond the duration of local
anesthetic effect.
ii. Adjuvant medications (Sarapin and Depo-Medrol) provide additional relief of
cervical facet joint pain when used with facet joint nerve blocks.
2. To demonstrate whether or not there are clinically significant improvements in function
of patients who receive cervical facet joint nerve block with or without Sarapin and
Depo-Medrol (Group II) compared to patients randomized to Group I who receive only
local anesthetic blocks.
3. To determine the adverse event profile in both groups.

Exclusion Criteria: Negative or false-positive response to controlled comparative local anesthetic blocks Narcotic use of greater than Hydrocodone 100 mg/day, Methadone 80 mg or Morphine 100 mg, or dose equivalent Uncontrolled major Depression or uncontrolled psychiatric disorders Uncontrolled or acute medical illnesses including coagulopathy, renal insufficiency, chronic liver dysfunction, progressive neurological deficit, urinary sphincter dysfunction, infection, increased intercranial pressure, pseudotumor cerebri, intercranial tumors, unstable angina, and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Chronic severe conditions that could interfere with the interpretations of the outcome assessments for pain and bodily function Women who are pregnant or lactating Subjects who have participated in a clinical study with an investigational product within 30 days of enrollment Patients with multiple complaints involving concomitant hip osteoarthritis, will not be amenable to study due to the overlap of pain complaints.
