Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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