Recent years have seen a marked increase in the number of patients diagnosed with spinal disorders, including chronic cervical myofascial pain syndrome (CMPS). This article aims to explore the potential of inflammatory process biomarkers in the blood and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as a means to assess the efficacy of collagen mesotherapy in the management of chronic CMPS. The second objective of this article is to evaluate the safety of collagen mesotherapy in chronic CMPS. The study comprised 23 subjects, who were randomly assigned either to the collagen mesotherapy group (n = 11) or the lignocaine mesotherapy group (n = 12). Blood was collected from each patient, and also the subjects were evaluated with the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the neck disability index (NDI). Results Both collagen and lignocaine mesotherapy have been observed to cause a significant reduction in pain intensity (NRS) and disability (NDI) over time, with no significant differences seen between the two interventions. However, the fluctuations in the levels of inflammatory biomarkers (TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6) and BDNF did not correspond with the clinical improvement noted. No adverse events related to the intervention were also observed. The potential of inflammatory biomarkers and BDNF, when assessed in blood serum, to serve as a basis for evaluating the efficacy of collagen mesotherapy in chronic CMPS; remains to be elucidated. Nevertheless, collagen mesotherapy appears to be an effective and safe treatment for chronic CMPS. However, further research in this area is required. Trial registration: NCT06807177. https//clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06807177.
