“…Imaging studies can also be used for diagnosis [ 14 , 15 ]. Ultrasound, X-ray, computed tomography, and MRI provide information on the suprascapular nerve and surrounding structures, helping diagnose SNES [ 15 , 25 , 26 ]. Nerve conduction velocity and EMG are the gold standards for SNES diagnosis [ 14 ].…”

“…As such, USG guided SSNB has become more popular among physicians. [28] On the other hand, the stimulation technique for nerve blockage has a high success and low complication rate. [17] The relatively high cost of USG precludes its widespread use when compared to the nerve stimulation technique.…”

Objectives: This study aims to compare the superiority of different suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) application methods on hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP), in a blinded and stimulator guided manner. Patients and methods:Twenty-six stroke patients (19 males, 7 females; mean age 61.0±9.4 years; range 53 to 76 years) meeting the enrollment criteria, were included in this study between September 2014 and November 2014. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Patients in group A received blinded SSNB and patients in group B received stimulator guided SSNB. Range of motion (ROM) (by goniometer) and pain levels (by visual analog scale-VAS) were assessed. Evaluations were made before, one hour after and one week after SSNBs. Results:In each group, VAS pain scores significantly decreased over time (p<0.0001) and a significant increase in terms of flexion and abduction ROM angles (group A: p=0.002 and p=0.010; group B: p=0.004 and p=0.012, respectively) was observed. In addition, internal rotation ROM angles were found to have increased in group B (p=0.036). There were no significant differences in ROM and VAS one hour and one-week change scores between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion:Both blinded or stimulator guided suprascapular nerve block techniques were safe and effective for pain relief in hemiplegic shoulder pain management. None of the injection techniques was superior to the other.Keywords: Blinded; hemiplegic shoulder pain; stimulator guided; suprascapular nerve block.Hemiplejik omuz ağrısında kör ve stimülatör kılavuzluğunda supraskapular sinir blokajının karşılaştırılması: Pilot çalışma ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemiplejik omuz ağrısında (HOA) kör ve stimülatör kılavuzluğunda, farklı supraskapular sinir blokajı (SSSB) uygulama yöntemlerinin birbirlerine üstünlüğü araştırıldı. Hastalar ve yöntemler:Eylül 2014 -Kasım 2014 tarihleri arasında yapılan bu çalışmaya katılma kriterlerini karşılayan 26 inme hastası (19 erkek, 7 kadın; ort. yaş 61.0±9.4 yıl; dağılım 53-76 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastalar randomize olarak iki eşit gruba ayrıldı. Grup A'daki hastalara kör SSSB, grup B'deki hastalara ise stimülatör kılavuzluğunda SSSB verildi. Eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) (gonyometre ile) ve ağrı düzeyleri (görsel analog ölçeği-GAÖ ile) değerlendirildi. Ölçümler SSSB öncesinde, bir saat sonrasında ve bir hafta sonrasında yapıldı. Bulgular:Her iki grupta GAÖ ağrı skorlarında zamanla anlamlı olarak azalma (p<0.0001); fleksiyon ve abdüksiyon EHA açılarında (sırasıyla grup A: p=0.002 ve p=0.010; grup B: p=0.004 ve p=0.012) ise anlamlı artış gözlendi. Ek olarak grup B internal rotasyon EHA açılarında artış saptandı (p=0.036). Gruplar arasında, GAÖ ve EHA açıları bir saatlik ve bir haftalık değişim skorlarında anlamlı bir farklılık yoktu (p>0.05).Sonuç: Kör ya da stimülatör kılavuzluğunda yapılan supraskapular sinir blokajı tekniklerinin her ikisi de güvenli ve hemiplejik omuz ağrısı tedavisinde ağrının giderilmesinde etkilidir. Hiçbir enjeksiyon tekniği diğerinden üstün değildir.Anahtar sözcükler: Kör; hemiple...
