Clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided fixed-point nerve block treatment for frozen shoulder
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided fixed-point nerve block treatment for frozen shoulder.Methods A total of 68 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder in the hospital from September 2020 to March 2022 were randomly divided into the treatment group(35 cases)and the con-trol group(33 cases).The treatment group received ultrasound-guided fixed-point nerve block and sodium hy-aluronate treatment,while the control group received conventional nerve block and sodium hyaluronate treat-ment.The clinical treatment efficacy,pain visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,and shoulder joint function scores between the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results There was statistical sig-nificance in the total effective rate between the two groups(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the VAS scores and shoulder joint function scores between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).The VAS scores and shoulder joint function scores of the treatment group were better than those of the control group after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Both groups did not experience significant adverse reactions during treatment and follow-up.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided fixed-point block combined with sodium hyaluronate can effectively improve pain in frozen shoulder pa-tients,and has good short-term and medium-term efficacy in improving joint functional activity.
