Ultrasound Guided Rhomboid Intercostal Block for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is an interfacial plane block described in 2016. It creates analgesia at T2-T9 levels in the hemithorax by applying local anesthetic to the fascia between the rhomboid muscle and the intercostal muscle. It has been used effectively in patients with chronic pain. Recently published report has shown that rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) may provide effective pain control for myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), too. MPS is a regional pain syndrome characterized by trigger points detected in one or more regional muscle groups. The investigators planned a prospective observational study, a total of 30 patients who will apply to our clinic with MPS, will register in research. The investigators will perform ultrasound-guided RIB, and evaluate the clinical outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain and its prevalence in the population is reported to be 21-30%. Rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is an interfacial plane block described in 2016. It creates analgesia at T2-T9 levels in the hemithorax by applying local anesthetic to the fascia between the rhomboid muscle and the intercostal muscle. It has been used effectively in patients with chronic pain. The investigators planned a prospective observational study.From february to march 10 2021, a total of 30 patients who will apply to our clinic with MPS, will register in research. The investigators will perform ultrasound-guided RIB, and evaluate the clinical outcome Ultrasound guided RIB will applied with linear probe, in plane technique. Block needle was inserted to plane between the rhomboid muscle and intercostal muscles over the T5-6 ribs 2 cm to 3 cm medially from the medial border of the scapula. 13ml of bupivacaine 0.25% and 8mg dexamethasone mixture will inject into the fascial plane. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) will recorded before and after the block at 30 minutes, day 1, 1-2-4-6 weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
