Comparison Suprascapular Nerve Block and Subacromial Injection in Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

Hemiplegic shoulder pain is the most common poststroke painful condition. Hemiplegic shoulder pain reduces range of motion (ROM) and hand function, resulting in limited daily life activity and decreased quality of life. In the literature, the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain has been previously evaluated, but these injection treatments have not been compared. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection on pain, shoulder (ROM), function and quality of life in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain.
