Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators evaluate the effect of Ultrasound guided Rhomboid Intercostal Block and Erector Spinal Plane Block on lower cervical and inter scapular Myofascial Pain
Detailed 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%. In this study, the investigators compare the effect of two regional anesthesia block techniques with the ultrasound guidance.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Complaint of myofascial pain
- •Pain that is rated at least 3 on a numerical rating scale (NRS, 0 = no pain, 10 = the worst pain)
Exclusion Criteria
- •pregnancy
- •presence of coagulopathy, or the use of anticoagulants
- •a history of surgery on the block area
- •allergic to bupivacaine
- •decline to participate
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Change from baseline to minutes 30, day 1, week 1, 2, 4, 6 after the block
Pain Score Change The 11-point NRS consists of numbers between 0 and 10 where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "maximum pain." The patient is instructed to identify one number between 0 and 10, which is best representative of their pain intensity.
