Cervical pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. In interventions based on diagnostic blocks, the prevalence of facet joint pain has been reported as 36-67% and the prevalence of cervical discogenic pain as 16-20%. In clinical practice, interventional techniques are used in the diagnosis and treatment of pain caused by cervical discopathy, which is one of the most common pathologies, especially in pain clinics. Epidural injections for the treatment of chronic cervical and upper extremity pain are one of the most rapidly developing modalities of interventional techniques; It is performed using the interlaminar or transforaminal approach. Fluoroscopy and CT have become standard imaging methods after entering clinical practice. However, since this situation causes radiation exposure, ultrasound (US) imaging has attracted attention over time. US is an important method in interventional pain treatment that images vascular and neural structures, soft tissues and bone surfaces, dynamically directs needle advancement and displays the spread of the injected material around the target. Interventional treatments are very safe treatment tools in experienced hands after necessary training and accompanied by radiological imaging.
