Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound-Guided Suprascapular Pulsed Radiofrequency .

The ultrasound-Guided Suprascapular Pulsed Radiofrequency was administered under operating room conditions while the patient was monitored in a sitting position.An ultrasound-guided 22 G 5-mm active-tip 100-mm radiofrequency needle (SC-K; Top Neuropole, Tokyo, Japan) was pushed forward towards the suprascapular notch until it passed the transverse scapular ligament using an in-plane approach.
