Demonstrates improved pain relief in post-stroke patients with combined therapies.
Objective: Observation on the efficacy of ultrasound-guided drug Injection combined with Suprascapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency in treating soft tissue lesions in post-stroke hemiplegic shoulder pain. Design: A total of 30 patients with post-stroke shoulder pain and soft tissue injury were enrolled and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 15 cases in each group. The experimental group received a single ultrasound-guided drug injection combined with pulsed radiofrequency therapy of the suprascapular nerve, while the control group received a single ultrasound-guided drug injection alone. Result: The VAS, FMA, and BI scores of the experimental group and the control group at different time points all showed statistical significance ( P <0.05). Conclusion: The combined ultrasound-guided drug injection and suprascapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency shows superior efficacy to injection alone in treating hemiplegic shoulder pain.
