-Summary

Eighty patients with chronic shoulder pain after breast surgery were allocated randomly into 2 groups; forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) followed by injection of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group1) and forty patients received fluoroscopically guided supra-scapular nerve injection of of 0.25% bupivacaine solution containing 40 mg of methylprednisolone (group 2) without active pulsed radiofrequency only demo mode was applied.
