Many approaches to treatment of frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, including use of steroid injections, provide only short-term relief. We present a method for pulsed mode radiofrequency (PRF) lesioning of the suprascapular nerve using ultrasound guidance in patients with severe pain from frozen shoulder.
Patients with frozen shoulder were treated by using real-time, high-resolution ultrasound guidance to facilitate PRF lesioning of the suprascapular nerve.
Two patients with frozen shoulder of a tertiary hospital were reported.
Pain intensity and shoulder movement before and after procedure were recorded. Results. In the two cases presented, both patients experienced pain relief and increased shoulder flexibility for 5-6 months.
Ultrasound can not only quickly and effectively identify the suprascapular notch and nerve, but also helps the operator manipulate and advance the needle to a more precise position.
许多治疗冻结肩（粘连性肩关节囊炎）的方法，包括使用类固醇注射，仅提供短期缓解。我们提出了一种使用超声引导的脉冲模式射频（PRF）治疗肩峰上神经的方法，用于治疗因冻结肩引起的严重疼痛的患者。
使用实时、高分辨率超声引导来辅助 PRF 治疗肩峰上神经，对冻结肩患者进行治疗。
报告了 2 例在三甲医院治疗的冻结肩患者。
记录治疗前后的疼痛强度和肩部活动度。结果：在报告的 2 例中，2 例患者均经历了 5-6 个月的疼痛缓解和肩部灵活性增加。
超声不仅可以快速有效地识别肩峰切迹和神经，还可以帮助操作者操作和将针推进到更精确的位置。
