Summary

This study tested different doses of mesotherapy—injections of lidocaine and meloxicam—against plain saline and dry needling in 80 adults with chronic neck pain. Participants received weekly sessions for three weeks. The goal was to see which approach most reduces pain and improves daily activities, measured at one and three months after treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
lidocaine and meloxicam injections
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the most effective mesotherapy dose for reducing chronic neck pain and improving daily function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 80 participants. Results may not apply to all neck pain types, and benefits over placebo or dry needling are uncertain.
