Efficacy of Adding Greater Occipital Nerve Block to Trigger Point Injection in Patients With Neck Pain

Study Title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Adding Greater Occipital Nerve Block to Trigger Point Injection in Patients with Neck Pain Due to Upper Trapezius Trigger Points: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial Purpose of the Study: This study aims to evaluate whether adding a Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) block to the standard trigger point injection treatment provides better pain relief and improves daily function in patients with neck pain caused by trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle. Trigger points are small, sensitive spots in muscles that can cause significant pain and discomfort. While both trigger point injections and GON blocks are common treatments for neck and head pain, it is not yet clear if combining these two methods offers better results. Why is this study important? Neck pain related to trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle is a frequent problem, but there is limited research on the effectiveness of combining trigger point injections with GON blocks. This study will provide important information on whether the combination therapy can reduce pain more effectively and improve patients' quality of life and ability to perform daily activities. Who can participate? Adults aged 18 to 65 years old Diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome (MAS) based on specific clinical criteria, including the presence of trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle Experiencing neck pain lasting longer than 3 months Pain intensity rated 5 or highe…
