Hemiplegic shoulder pain, a combined approach with suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injections: a case series by Matthieu Gahier, Matthieu Gahier, Andy Lecler, Guillaume Gadbled, Paul Arnolfo, Raphael Gross, Raphael Gross

“…A combined approach, involving suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injection, has been proposed for HSP and capsulitis, yet evidence remains limited.ObjectiveThis study presents the results (efficacy and safety) of this combined approach to alleviate pain and improve passive range of motion (PROM).MethodsA retrospective, multicenter observational study (36 patients).ResultsAt 1 month, the mean pain intensity (visual analogue scale VAS) significantly decreased from 6.5 ± 1.5 at baseline to 1.9 ± 2.1, and PROM showed significant improvement across all three planes (mean PROM gains: 28.4° in abduction, 29.2° in flexion, and 13.4° in external rotation). …”
