Overview
Brief Summary
Suprascapular nerve block is an injection method that has been shown to be effective in shoulder rehabilitation in diseases such as adhesive capsulitis and stroke .. Applying the block under USG guidance instead of blinding increases the effectiveness and reduces complications.
Detailed Description
Suprascapular nerve block is an injection method that has been shown to be effective in shoulder rehabilitation in diseases such as adhesive capsulitis and stroke .Applying the block under USG guidance instead of blinding increases the effectiveness and reduces complications There are many studies in the literature on suprascapular, axillary, and interscalene nerve blocks in early pain management after shoulder arthroplasty. All of these focus on pain in the perioperative or early postoperative period. There is a study on USG-guided suprascapular nerve block. In this study, unlike the studies in the literature, it was aimed to show the effectiveness of USG-guided suprascapular nerve block in the subacute rehabilitation process of patients.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Having undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery within the last week
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 10th week
In the study, pain intensity was evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Numbers from 0 to 10 on VAS; Patients will be asked to score their pain levels at rest, activity and at night, with 0 being defined as "no pain" and 10 being "unbearable pain". Increased scores indicate higher pain intensity.
Shoulder joint range of motion (ROM)
Time Frame: 10 th week
Joint range of motion will be measured and recorded passively in all directions using a goniometer according to the neutral zero method.
Secondary Outcomes
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADİ)(10th week)
- Modified Constant-Murley Scoring(Baseline)
