Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of a ten-day suprascapular nerve block and daily rehabilitation on improving shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain, and function in patients with chronic adhesive capsulitis (AC).
- Patients receiving this treatment showed significant improvements in ROM after ten days and maintained those improvements after 180 days, alongside reductions in pain and disability scores.
- The findings suggest that combining continuous nerve block with multidisciplinary therapy is a successful strategy for managing chronic AC in patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.

Introduction: Treatment of refractory adhesive shoulder capsulitis is a challenge. This observational retrospective study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of intensive physiotherapy protocol under a continuous peripheral blockade of the suprascapular nerve (cSSNB).
Method: We reviewed 29 medical records of patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis and treated with intensive physiotherapy under cSSNB during 10 days.
Diabetes mellitus causes several micro- (nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy) and macro-vascular (coronary insufficiency, stroke, lower limb arteriopathy) complications. Some complications are less widely known, particularly the ones involving the musculoskeletal system. Even though diabetes is not specifically linked to these complications, it increases both their incidence and severity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate how the motor unit number index (MUNIX) is related to the adapted multiple point stimulation (AMPS) technique.
Methods: MUNIX and AMPS technique were prospectively performed on thenar muscles in 20 consecutive patients referred to our neurophysiological laboratory with the clinical diagnosis of a possible motoneurone disorder (MND). The clinical and paraclinical assessment confirmed the diagnosis of MND in 13 out of 20 patients, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 9 (with MND group).
We report the case of a patient presenting with an akineto-rigid syndrome of the left hemibody whose etiological exploration by magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of a cavernoma located in the right lenticular region. The interest of this situation is to establish if there is a pathophysiological link between such symptoms and the lesion revealed by the MRI.
