The Analgesic Efficacy Supra-scapular Nerve RF After Breast Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Pain Syndrome
• Interventions: Procedure: suprascapular nerve block

• Registration Number: NCT03247842
• Lead Sponsor: Tanta University

Brief Summary

Eighty patients with chronic shoulder pain after breast surgery were allocated randomly into 2 groups; forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) followed by injection of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group1) and forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve injection of of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group 2) without active pulsed radiofrequency only demo mode was applied.

Detailed Description

Eighty patients with chronic shoulder pain after breast surgery were allocated randomly into 2 groups ; forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) followed by injection through the radiofrequency needle of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group1) and forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve injection of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group 2) without active pulsed radiofrequency only demo mode was applied.
