This ultrasound-guided fascial plane block is a feasible option for blocking the superior gluteal nerve without inadvertent involvement of the sciatic and inferior gluteal nerves. Further randomized controlled clinical trials are necessary to assess the clinical efficacy of the gluteus medius/gluteus minimus fascial plane block to treat moderate-to-severe, chronic, refractory greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
