Summary

Background: Chronic shoulder pain (CSP) is a musculoskeletal disease characterized by pain lasting more than 3 months.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether pre-treatment injection in CSP treatment contributes to pain, functionality and quality of life.

Methods: A total of 110 patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into 2 groups (55 patients in each group).

A standard 15-session physical therapy program (hot pack, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation(TENS), US and therapeutic exercises) was applied to all patients in both groups. Suprascapular Nerve Block was applied to Group I before treatment.

Assessments were made using VAS-Pain, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) before and at the end of the treatment and in the posttreatment 3th months.

Suprascapular nerve block with physical therapy

Suprascapular nerve block was applied to the relevant shoulder area of all patients before treatment. Afterwards, a physical therapy program (5 days a week for 3 weeks, a total of 15 sessions) was applied, including 20 minutes of hot pack at 60°C, 20 minutes of conventional TENS at 80 Hz and US at 3 MHz frequency and 1.5 watt/cm2 intensity. After physical therapy, all the participants received therapeutic exercise program (3 sets of 10 reps with 3- minute intervals between the sets) consisting of active-assisted ROM, passive stretching and Codman exercises for their shoulder joint for 30 minutes in accompany with a physiotherapist.
