Ultrasonography-Guided Multifidus Cervicis Plane Block as a New Approach for the Treatment of Chronic Axial Neck Pain

Abstract

Multifidus cervicis plane block has been effectively used to provide analgesia during and after cervical spine surgery, but not for any other purpose. Here, we report three cases of chronic axial neck pain unresponsive to medical treatment. We performed multifidus cervicis plane block bilaterally, which lowered numerical rating scale (NRS) score within 2 weeks. Thus, multifidus cervicis plane block is one of the novel options that may be used for chronic axial neck pain.
