Comparison of efficacy of suprascapular nerve block using local anaesthetic and two different doses of steroid in cervical radicular pain
A SSNB with a local anaesthetic and either 8 mg or 4 mg of dexamethasone is an equally effective technique for managing patients with cervical radicular pain. Hence, a SSNB with 4 mg of dexamethasone can be utilised to reduce the steroid dose without compromising the efficacy and safety of the treatment in patients with cervical radicular pain.
