Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block vs trigger point injections for chronic abdominal wall pain: A randomized clinical trial
Pain May 31, 2021
Moeschler SM, Pollard EM, Pingree MJ, et al. - Via performing a randomized clinical trial, researchers herein examined how ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) vs ultrasound-guided trigger point injections (TPIs) affect numerical rating scale pain scores at month 3 follow-up in patients with chronic abdominal wall pain. Randomization of a total of 60 patients to receive either an ultrasound-guided TAP block (n = 30) or an ultrasound-guided TPI (n = 30) was done. At month 3 follow-up, outcomes revealed significantly lower pain scores among adults with chronic abdominal wall pain who received a TPI vs those who received a TAP block.
