Suprascapular Nerve Block (SSNB) improves the outcome in exercise based management of Primary Adhesive Capsulitis (PAC): A prospective randomized comparative study.

Background And Aims: Increased pain and associated stiffness hinders the advantages of exercise and process of recovery in primary adhesive capsulitis. We hypothesized that suprascapular nerve block may positively affect the outcome due to its role in pain relief of acute or chronic shoulder pain. We compared the effect of suprascapular nerve block and exercise with only exercise on the recovery of primary adhesive capsulitis.
