Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
change of Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire in both groups after the intervention
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities, overall total scores range from 0 to 130 with a percentage score of 0 indicating less shoulder disability and 100 indicating more shoulder dysfunction
15th day, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Numerical pain rating scale (NRS).physiological parameter
15th day, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month
Duration of pain relief physiological parameter
15th day, 1st month, 3rd month and 6th month

Study Arms (2)
Suprasacapular nerve block
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive ultrasound guided intra articular Gleno-humeral steroid injection of Diprofos® (betamethasone 14 mg/ 2ml) and ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block US SSN with 10mL of 0.25% preservative-free bupivacaine
Pulsed Radiofrequency group
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive ultrasound guided intra articular Gleno-humeral steroid injection of Diprofos® (betamethasone 14 mg/ 2ml) and ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block US SSN with 10mL of 0.25% preservative-free bupivacaine with application of pulse PRF at 42 Celsius of suprascapular nerve for 480 seconds.
Interventions
Suprascapular nerve block group: Patients will receive ultrasound guided intra articular Gleno-humeral steroid injection of Diprofos® (betamethasone 14 mg/ 2ml) and ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block US SSN with 10mL of 0.25% preservative-free bupivacaine Pulsed radiofrequency group: Patients will receive ultrasound guided intra articular Gleno-humeral steroid injection of Diprofos® (betamethasone 14 mg/ 2ml) and ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block US SSN with 10mL of 0.25% preservative-free bupivacaine with application of pulse PRF at 42 Celsius of suprascapular nerve for 480 seconds.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adults aged from 21-60 years.
- Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II.
- Chronic shoulder pain (\>3 months) and will undergo interventional treatment due to inadequate response to conservative treatments.
You may not qualify if:
- Refusal of procedure or participation in the study by patients.
- History of shoulder surgery, another intervention history between 3 months before and 1 year after the intervention applied.
- Patients with chronic pain syndrome due to other shoulder pathology (fibromyalgia, cervical discopathy, brachial plexus injury).
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus patients with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels of more than 7%.
- Patients with known history of allergy to the study drugs.
- Infection at site of injection.
- Cognitive or psychiatric illness that will lead to inability to cooperate, speak, or provide informed consent.
