简要总结
The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with steroids to relieve pain in cases of post-herpetic neuralgia, patient satisfaction, and record any complications post-injection.
详细描述
The current study will be conducted as a single-blinded prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with steroids to relieve pain in cases of post-herpetic neuralgia.
All patients will be evaluated by:
-
Full history taking: including age, sex, presence of co-morbid conditions as well as the presenting complaint.
-
Clinical examination and routine lab investigations that include:
-
Complete blood count (CBC).
-
Fasting blood glucose (FBG).
-
Coagulation profile (bleeding time, prothrombin time, prothrombin activity, international normalized ratio).
