Addition of Pulsed Radiofrequency to Suprascapular Nerve Block with Glenohumeral Steroid Injection in Patients with Chronic Shoulder Pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic shoulder pain frequently affects individuals in contemporary societies. However, the benefits of conventional therapies are limited and do not result in sustained clinical improvement.

Objectives

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefits of integrating pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation into current approaches for managing long-term shoulder pain.

Methods

In this prospective, randomized, clinical interventional study, 60 patients suffering from chronic shoulder pain were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A consisted of 30 patients and received a glenohumeral steroid injection of Diprofos^® (betamethasone dipropionate 14 mg/2 mL) along with an ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve (US SSN) block using 10
