ESPB and other interfascial plane blocks are preferred methods due to a large variety of indications and ease of application. Weread with great interest the correspondence by Taketa et al. In which they report the successful use of ultrasound guided serrates posterior superior muscle block in interscapular myofascial pain. Myofascial pain is one of the most common forms of chronic pain and can be treated using trigger point injection and interfascial applications. We hypothesized that ESPB could provide effective analgesia in lower cervical and interscapular myofascial pain.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessUltrasound guided erector spinae plane block relieves lower cervical and interscapular myofascial pain, a new indicationLetter7430343227Q17453WOS:000461001800021Q1
