Suprascapular Nerve Block

Background:Frozen shoulder is prevalent among diabetic patients, and usually has aggressive course, with more tendency to be bilateral and resistant to treatment. Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) is used with increasing frequency by anesthetists and rheumatologists in the management of frozen shoulder. We previously introduced a protocol of nine injections for SSNB with better short term outcome than single SSNB injection (1). Long term outcome of SSNB in management of frozen shoulder is still not detected.Objectives:To evaluate the long term effect of multiple (nine) ultrasound guided supra-scapular nerve block in treatment of diabetic frozen shoulder.Methods:A retrospective cohort study followed up 40 diabetic patients who received a course of ultrasound guided multiple supra-scapular nerve block (9 injections) on 2014. In this study we retrospectively assessed the patients from previously recorded data at a mean duration of 6 years after completing the 9 injection course SSNB clinically by measuring the shoulder active range of motion (using a goniometer in three planes: abduction, internal, and external rotation). Visual analogue scale and Functional assessment by shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI).Results:Thirty four patients (85% of original cohort) completed the long term follow up.The patients were 19 (55.9%) females, 60.6 y mean age, and the mean of disease duration was 85.6 months. The majority of patients (33 patients 97.05%) continues improvement and gained within normal complete range of motions in all directions and excellent grades of shoulder function (Table 1).Table 1.Clinical ParametersAt base lineAt 4 monthsLast follow up at (72months±4)**P valueSPADI pain score (100)(68.8 ± 0.5)a(10.3 ± 7.4)b(0.9±1.9)c0.00*SPADI disability score (100)(69.2 ± 7.7)a(6.25 ± 2.25)b(0.4±0.8)c0.00*SPADI total (100)(69.1 ± 8.5)a(8.15 ± 5.4)b(1.1±0.9)c0.00*Patient global assessment (100)(90.2 ± 8.2)a(8.2 ± 4.2)b(0.4±2.1)c0.00*Night pain (100)(55.4±10.2)a(10.3 ± 4.9)b(2.3±1.1)c0.00*Abduction (180°)(77.5 ± 4.7)a(170.3 ± 10.3)b(174.2±6.2)b0.00*External rotation (100 °)(46 ± 12.6)a(80.1 ± 10.2)b(86.4±10.3)b0.00*Internal rotation (70 °)(34.5 ± 2.4)a(55.4 ± 10.1)b(60.2±9.5)b0.00** P <0.05 there was a statistical significant difference•A,b,c--- the alphabet of different symbols ---means a significant statistical difference between groupsSPADI: shoulder pain and disability indexConclusion:The multiple injection courses for supra-scapular nerve block has an excellent long term efficacy as treatment of diabetic frozen shoulder. This method should be the treatment of choice in patients of diabetic frozen shoulder who do not respond to physiotherapy.References:[1]Mortada, M. A., Ezzeldin, N., Abbas, S. F., Ammar, H.

Significant Difference

Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate early clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) using a proximal approach, as compared with subacromial steroid injection (SA).Methods: This retrospective study included a consecutive series of 40 patients of SSNB and 20 patients receiving SA, from August 2017 to August 2018. The visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder Elbow Surgeon’s score (ASES), University of California, Los Angeles score (UCLA), the 36 health survey questionnaire mental component summary (SF36-MCS), physical component summary (PCS), and range of motion (forward elevation, external rotation, and internal rotation) were assessed for clinical evaluations.Results: Compared with the baseline, VAS, and ranges of motion in the SSNB group significantly improved at the 4-week follow-up (VAS scores improved from 6.7 ± 1.6 to 4.3 ± 2.4, <i>p</i><0.001; all ranges of motion <i>p</i><0.05), while other variables showed no statistically significant differences. All clinical variables were significantly improved in the SA group (<i>p</i><0.05). However, all clinical scores at the 4-week follow-up showed no significant difference between groups.Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided SSNB using proximal approach provides significant pain relief at 4-weeks after treatment, with statistically significant difference when compared with SA, suggesting that SSNB using proximal approach is a potentially useful option in managing shoulder pain. However, in the current study, it was less effective in improving shoulder function and health-related quality of life, compared with SA.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP).Background: SSNB is widely used in various shoulder pains, but whether it is effective in HSP remains unknown.Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched to identify potential citations. Randomized controlled trials meeting the eligible criteria were included in our analysis. The primary endpoint was Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with a maximum value of 100 and a minimum value of 0. Secondary endpoints were passive range of motion (PROM) that pain starts, and the PROM mainly included abduction, flexion, and external rotation. In addition, the upper extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) was also included in our secondary endpoints.Results: Eight studies with 281 patients were included in our analysis. For VAS, there was no obvious difference between SSNB group and control group regardless of the follow-up period (&lt;4 weeks or ≥4 weeks), which were −6.62 (−15.76, 2.53; p = 0.16) and 1.78 (−16.18, 19.74; p = 0.85). For shoulder function, the PROM of abduction, flexion, and external rotation was similar between groups. However, motor function indicator FMA is lower in SSNB control than that in control group, with a mean difference (and 95% CI) of −2.59 (−4.52, −0.66; p = 0.008).Conclusion: SSNB is an effective way for HSP patients.Systematic Review Registration: Registration ID: CRD42021252429.
