Summary

Subacromial pain syndrome (SPS) is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, leading to significant disability and socioeconomic burden. Although percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) targeting the suprascapular nerve (SN) has shown positive therapeutic outcomes, individual response to the intervention varies considerably. This study aims to develop a multivariable predictive model to estimate clinical response to SN-targeted PENS in patients with SPS. The model will be built using clinical, psychological, and neural mechanosensitivity variables. The goal is to enhance patient selection and guide personalized treatment strategies.

Conditions

  • Subacromial Pain Syndrome
  • Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS)

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation applied to the suprascapular nerve using a monophasic or biphasic current at 10 Hz frequency and 250 μs pulse width. Intensity is progressively increased to patient tolerance, aiming to induce visible muscle contractions of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus. Duration of the session is 30 minutes.
