Abstract

Aim: Despite the frequent use of local injections for shoulder pain, previous trials revealed conflicting results. In this research, we aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of suprascapular nerve block (SNB) and subacromial steroid injection (SSI) in improving pain, quality of life, functional status and sleep quality in patients with chronic shoulder pain.
