The Efficacy of Suprascapular Nerve Radiofrequency and Intra-articular Steroid Injection in Frozen Shoulder Treatment

IACI can provide rapid effect in pain reliving, reducing inflammation and improving ROM that could increase the compliance of exercise therapy.

"SCNRFT is a new choice for treatment of frozen shoulder. The suprascapular nerve is the nerve that is most commonly affected in the condition of a frozen shoulder and it is for this reason that the suprascapular nerve is directly targeted by pulsed radiofrequency treatment. As radiology techniques advance, ultrasound-guided SCNB becomes more popular. It provides a cost and time-effective way to tag the nerve accurately without injury to the nerves or vessels."
