Summary

This study tested two types of injections for people with long-lasting neck pain caused by muscle knots that didn't get better with usual treatments. 96 adults received either a dextrose solution or a lidocaine-saltwater mix injected between layers of tissue under ultrasound guidance. The goal was to see which injection worked better for reducing pain, improving neck movement, and enhancing daily life over three months.
