Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of local anesthetic drugs in cervical epidural injections for chronic neck pain.

Detailed Description

In this prospective observational study, patients were divided into two groups regarding the injected solution into the cervical epidural space. Group S received a corticosteroid injection, and group LS received a corticosteroid and bupivacaine injection. Pain severity scores (Numerical Rating Scale - NRS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores were recorded before the intervention and one, three, and six months after the intervention. Significant differences were searched between groups using statistical analysis.
