Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency (RF) vs. suprascapular nerve block in reducing chronic shoulder pain in 40 patients.
- Pain intensity was significantly lower in the RF group at various intervals (2, 4, and 8 weeks) and remained so at rest after 12 weeks compared to the nerve block group.
- Both treatments showed reduced pain intensity over time, with few side effects reported, and no significant differences in shoulder range of motion between the groups.
