Pain Managment in Chronic Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is the second most prevalent musculoskeletal condition in adults which is frequently treated poorly and results in chronic pain . The use of steroid injection has been demonstrated to be superior to conventional therapies, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Its impact is transient (4-6 weeks) and occasionally may not be clinically sufficient . An alternate analgesic injection for the pain management of numerous shoulder diseases is the suprascapular nerve block (SSN) . Although pulse radiofrequency analgesia typically lasts for a much longer period than nerve blocking, it has become increasingly popular to apply pulse radiofrequency to peripheral nerves.
