Summary

Objective: We aim to compare the efficiency of the ultrasonography-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) and ultrasonography-guided intra-articular shoulder injection (IAI) techniques in terms of pain and functional status in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Design: 60 patients with adhesive capsulitis were divided into two groups: SSNB and IAI. Both groups received an injection of 1 ml of 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide and 9 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine hydrochloride. The patients' Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores, shoulder active and passive range of motions (ROM), and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were evaluated before and after the injection in the 1st week, 4th week, and 12th week.

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis
  • Shoulder Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Suprascapular Nerve Block

SSNB group: The patients were asked to sit comfortably in the chair, and the transducer was placed on the spine of the scapula in the coronal plane and moved laterally to observe the supraspinatus notch and the suprascapular nerve. The injection mixture was applied in-plane with a 22-gauge, 90-mm needle on the suprascapular nerve, under the fascia of the supraspinatus muscle.

PROCEDURE

Intraarticular Shoulder Injection

IAI group: The patients were asked to sit on the chair with their hands facing the opposite shoulder, and the transducer was placed slightly below the spina scapula. The humeral head was observed by moving laterally. The injection mixture was applied in-plane with a 22-gauge, 90-mm needle entering the skin at a 45-degree angle and applied to the joint space
