Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group

In addition to the conventional physiotherapy program, patients in the intervention group will receive a suprascapular nerve block with musculoskeletal USG guidance available in our clinic at the beginning of rehabilitation. Bupivacaine hydrochloride will be used in this injection. 5 ml of bupivacaine hydrochloride 5% and 5 ml of saline will be drawn into a 10 ml syringe and ejection will be performed from the superior of the suprascapular noch under USG guidance.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

conventional physiotherapy program.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

It will be applied to a rehabilitation program including joint range of motion exercises and physical therapy modalities by a physiotherapist at the Physical Therapy Hospital.
