Abstract
Periarthritis is a chronic, inflammatory disorder of the shoulder and surrounding soft tissues, caused by injury, leading to pain and lack of use. Various therapeutic methods and surgical treatments have been introduced for shoulder periarthritis. This observational study was carried out on 16 patients clinically and radiologically diagnosed with periarthritis of shoulder to assess the efficacy of SSNB in the treatment of periarthritis of the shoulder. In this study the mean abduction increased and reached from 72.3° ± 3.10° to 116.3°± 4.8° at the follow-up of 12-weeks. Mean flexion, mean internal rotation and mean external rotation shows an improvement of 41.50, 19.8° and 23.50 respectively at 12-weeks follow-up. The mean VAS score was 7.25 ± 0.9, which shows a significant reduction at different time intervals. In this study we conclude that supra-scapular nerve block (SSNB) is an effective method for controlling pain and accelerating recovery of shoulder motion in patients with periarthritis of shoulder.
