suprascapular nerve block

Arm Description

Eighty patients with chronic shoulder pain after breast surgery were allocated randomly into 2 groups (Figure1); forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) followed by injection through the radiofrequency needle of mL of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group1)

and forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve injection of mL of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group 2) without active pulsed radiofrequency only demo mode was applied.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

postoperative pain
assessment using visual analogue scale
