Abstract

Objectives: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a regional pain syndrome that causes pain due to hyperirritable trigger points in the musculoskeletal system. Trapezius is one of the most commonly affected muscles in MPS. We aimed to evaluate the ef- ficacy of an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle in patients with MPS. Methods: The records of patients who underwent an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius between No- vember 2019 and October 2020 were retrospectively examined. The pain levels of the patients were evaluated with the numeric rating scale (NRS). Patients with a reduction in pain ≥50% after the procedure were considered to have benefited from the procedure. Results: A total of 54 patients (41 women and 13 men) were evaluated. The mean NRS values of the patients were 7.16 (5–9) before the procedure, 3.31 (0–8) 10 min after the procedure, and 3.37 (0–8) 1 week after the procedure. The number of patients who benefited from the procedure was 40 (74.07%) 10 min after the procedure. The number of patients who benefited from the procedure for up to 1 week, 1–2 weeks, 2 weeks–1 month, 1–3 months, and more than 3 months after the procedure was 38 (70.37%), 36 (66.66%), 31 (57.40%), 26 (48.14%), and 17 (31.48%), respectively. Conclusion: Pain relief lasting for months was achieved in most of the patients. We believe that ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius is effective for the treatment of MPS.

Özet

Amaç: Miyofasiyal ağrı sendromu, kas iskelet sisteminde hiperirritabıl noktalardan kaynaklanan ağrıya neden olan bölgesel bir ağrı sendromudur. Miyofasiyal ağrı sendromu kronik ağrının en sık sebebidir ve trapezius kası en sık etkilenen kaslardan biridir. Bu çalışmada, trapezius kasındaki tetik noktaya bağlı miyofasiyal ağrı sendromu olan hastalara uyguladığımız ultrason eşliğinde trapezius kası interfasiyal blokunun etkinliğinin geriye dönük olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, retrospektif olarak algoloji polikliniğinde Kasım 2019-Ekim 2020 tarihleri arasında miyofasiyal ağrı nedeniyle ultrason eşliğinde trapezius kası interfasiyal bloku uygulanan hastaların dosyaları incelendi. Hastaların işlem öncesi ve işlem sonrası ağrı düzeyleri Numerik Rating Skala ile değerlendirildi. İşlemden sonra ağrıda %50 ve daha fazla oranda azalma olan hastaların işlemden faydalandığı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada, miyofasiyal ağrı nedeniyle ultrason eşliğinde trapezius kası interfasiyal bloku uygulanan 41’i kadın, 13’ü erkek toplam 54 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların işlem öncesi ortalama Numerik Rating Skala değerleri 7,16 (5–9) iken, iş- lemden 10 dakika sonra 3,31 (0–8) ve işlemden bir hafta sonra 3,37 (0–8) idi. İşlemden faydalanan hasta sayısı işlemden 10 dakika sonra 40 (%74,07) idi. İşlem sonrası bir haftaya kadar faydalanan hasta sayısı 38 (%70,37), 1–2 hafta arasında faydalanan hasta sayısı 36 (%66,66), 2 hafta-1 ay arasında faydalanan hasta sayısı 31 (%57,40), 1–3 ay arasında faydalanan hasta sayısı 26 (%48,14) ve 3 aydan daha uzun süre faydalanan hasta sayısı ise 17 (%31,48) olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda hastaların çoğunda aylar süren bir ağrı rahatlaması elde ettik. Ultrason eşliğinde yapılan trapezius kası interfasiyal blokunun miyofasiyal ağrı sendromu tedavisinde etkili olabileceği kanaatindeyiz.
