Overview
Brief Summary
Chronic shoulder pain is one of the most common diseases affecting the quality of life today. Although there are multiple causes, one of the most common causes is shoulder impingement syndrome.
Ultrasound can be used for diagnosis in patients whose treatment is difficult due to its complex structure. While the supraspinatus muscle, tendon and shoulder joint are the regions that are usually evaluated, the visualization of the Suprascapular notch is usually observed during injection. The connection between the suprascapular notch and the shoulder joint has been demonstrated in different studies.
Detailed Description
In this study, the investigation of the relationship between the measurements of the suprascapular nerve and the suprascapular notch, which the investigators observed in our clinical ultrasound applications, and the disease activity intended.
