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.
颈部疼痛是与肌肉骨骼疾病相关的常见问题。本研究描述了筋膜间肩胛提肌平面阻滞(LeSP阻滞)技术,该技术使用超声引导进行局部麻醉给药以治疗慢性颈部疼痛。两名患者,一名77岁女性和一名50岁女性,接受了LeSP阻滞。两人术后均立即实现了疼痛缓解,其中1例患者疼痛完全缓解(视觉模拟评分法[VAS]=0),另一例在30天后有显著改善(VAS=2)。LeSP阻滞显示出有效性和易用性,表明其可纳入肩带和肩胛疼痛的疼痛管理策略。建议进行进一步的解剖学研究,以改进对副脊神经的解剖学描述,从而完善该技术。
