View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment is an underdiagnosed cause of chronic low back and gluteal pain. Although diagnostic nerve block is considered the gold standard for confirming SCN entrapment, there is no consensus regarding the optimal injection approach. This prospective observational study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness of proximal and distal ultrasound-guided SCN block techniques in patients diagnosed with SCN entrapment. Pain intensity and functional outcomes will be evaluated over the follow-up period to assess differences between the two approaches.
