Brief summary (from the registry)
Shoulder pain is the second most common musculoskeletal disease in adults, and it often becomes chronic due to treatment difficulties. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy has become increasingly popular in the treatment of chronic shoulder pain due to its long duration of action and non-destructive method.
