Summary
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) effectively reduced chronic shoulder pain in a patient with osteoarthritis. Targeting the suprascapular nerve at the spinoglenoid notch proved safe and beneficial.
Area of Science:
- Pain Management
- Neuromodulation
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background:
- Chronic shoulder pain is a significant issue, often linked to glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis.
- Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is an emerging treatment for chronic shoulder pain, targeting nerves like the suprascapular nerve (SSN) and axillary nerve.
- Traditional approaches may carry risks such as pneumothorax or motor block.
