Is Interfascial Block With Ultrasound-guided Puncture Useful in Treatment of Myofascial Pain of the Trapezius Muscle?

Abstract

The anatomical, histological, and ultrasound findings in the cadaver study confirmed the diffusion of the solution in the interfascial space. Study in patients confirms that the interfascial block in the back musculature can be as effective as in the abdominal musculature. The presence of nerve structures in this space, confirmed by the histological study, seems to explain the pain relief reported by the patients with this interfascial technique.
