Abstract

Abstract Background: The shoulder pain is a frequent musculoskeletal condition in the overall population, with incidence of 6.7 –66.7 percent. Aim of the work: The aim of this research was to estimate the interventional radiology role in management of chronic shoulder pain. The Patients and Methods: This prospective study included (60) patients with chronic shoulder pain. Regional injection had been done guided by ultrasound, fluoroscopy &/or CT for e.g: hydrodilatation of the gleno-humeral capsule, hydro-dissection of the subacromial bursa, neurolysis of suprascapular & subaxillary nerves. Results: The full technique has a significant higher improvement in VAS, ROM and SPADI than partial technique. High volume injection has a significant higher improvement in VAS, ROM and SPADI than Low volume injection. Intra-articular injection has a significant higher improvement in VAS, ROM and SPADI than Extra-articular injection. Conclusion: We can conclude that interventional radiology has an effective role in chronic shoulder pain treatment.
