NCT03498976

Brief Summary

Pulsed radiofrequency produces more lasting pain relief than use of peripheral blocks or analgesic medication in the treatment of chronic pain. We study the use of pulsed radiofrequency on the suprascapular nerve and the Circumflex nerve and the efficacy of the single technique on suprascapular nerve versus the circumflex and suprascapular combinated technique
