In a single-arm case series of 10 patients with bilateral cervicobrachial pain, six weeks of intradermal mesotherapy with Diclofenac Sodium and lidocaine significantly reduced pain (VAS) and improved neck flexion range of motion and trapezius muscle tone and stiffness at end-of-treatment and one-month follow-up.
Ten patients with bilateral cervicobrachial pain completed a six-week mesotherapy protocol involving intradermal injections of Diclofenac Sodium and lidocaine into the trapezius muscles, with assessments at baseline, end of treatment (42 days), and one-month follow-up (72 days). VAS pain scores decreased from 9 ± 0.6 at baseline to 5.8 ± 0.7 at T1 and 3 ± 1.05 at T2. Passive range of motion of neck flexion increased from 51.5 ± 4.7° to 60.5 ± 5.5° at T1 and 79 ± 3.9° at T2. Bilateral trapezius muscle tone and dynamic stiffness improved at both follow-up time points. No significant adverse effects were reported.
