Brief summary (from the registry)
Regardless of the etiology, chronic shoulder pain is a distressing condition that affects daily life and is among the first common reasons for musculoskeletal system problems when admitting to clinics. Pulsed radiofrequency (pRF) treatment to the suprascapular nerve (SSN) is a promising interventional procedure, that is thought to be effective in case of chronic shoulder pain. However, conventional physical therapy program is preferred more often and found more applicable. The aim of current study is to compare the effectiveness of two treatment procedures.
