Chronic Shoulder Pain

The shoulder joint is an enarthrodial or ball-and-socket joint. A complex network of anatomic structures endows the human shoulder with tremendous mobility, greater than any other joint in the body. Many pathologies can been found in those patients with chronic shoulder pain. The painful limitation of shoulder motion affects hand and arm motion as well; therefore, it significantly influences work performance and everyday activities as well as the quality of life. Therefore, the treatment of patients with chronic shoulder pain has major social and health economic implications. In this article we present a patient with a complex history of shoulder pathology including 7 surgeries that left the patient with chronic debilitating shoulder pain. She was suffering from chronic pain and limited mobility of the shoulder joint due to adhesive shoulder capsulitis. She was treated with a multimodality approach with the goals of increasing shoulder range of motion and decreasing her pain. This did not provide significant improvement. The suprascapular nerve supplies motor and sensory innervation to the shoulder, and can be easily accessible in the supraspinatus fossa. A suprascapular nerve block dramatically decreased her pain. This clinical observation along with confirmatory nerve block play an important role during the decision-making process for a trial period of electrical neuromodulation. She was followed for 3 months after the permanent implantation of a suprascapular nerve stimulator. Her pain and shoulder range of motion in all planes improved dramatically. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the suprascapular nerve, in addition to multimodality pain management, is one approach to the difficult task of treating adhesive capsulitis with accompanying pain and the inability to move the shoulder. We conducted a literature review on PubMed and found no case describing a similar patient to our knowledge.

Chronic Shoulder Pain

Background. Joints or muscles dysfunctions more often occur not only in elderly but also middle aged people. The problem becomes chronic and causes longtermed pain, lack of functional mobility. One of the most affected areas of human musculoskeletal zones is shoulder area (Pan, 2016). Purpose. Evaluate myofascial release techniques for pain and function in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Methods. There were 12 patients chosen who were randomly divided into ischemic compression and friction groups. We evaluated pain, arm function, muscle strength and range of motion. Results. In ischemia group, pain after the treatment decreased (before 5.33 ± 0.81; after 3 ± 1.41, p = 0.01). Function of arm improved (before 42.83 ± 8.23; after 62.5 ± 6.89, p = 0.01). All humerus range of motions and strength of muscles improved (p < 0.05), comparing results before and after the treatment. In friction group pain after the treatment did not change (before 5.83 ± 0.98; after 4.16 ± 2.63, p = 0.252). Arm function improved (before 42.5 ± 4.84; after 56 ± 5.47, p = 0.006). Friction improved (p < 0.05) humerus flexion, abduction, external rotation range of motions and muscles strength of humerus abductors. Conclusions. Ischemic compression had signifcant effect on reducing shoulder pain, improving range of motion and muscle strength of humerus movers. Friction technique did not have effects on reducing pain, but had significant effects on humerus flexion, abduction, external rotation range of motions and increased muscle strength of humerus abductors. When comparing results after ischemia and friction between groups, no signifcant difference was found in treating shoulder pain, range of motion of humerus movements and muscle strength of humerus movers.Keywords: myofascial realease, friction, ischemia.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Hemiplegic shoulder pain and subluxation are prevalent sequelae following stroke. A gap in the literature exists for shoulder assessments specifically for taping, a common intervention. Studies and tape methods primarily focus on mechanical corrections. However, muscle tone and management, which are prevalent topics in neurological rehabilitation, are rarely addressed. The T-L-C taping method consists of a uniform assessment approach of the shoulder specifically to guide Kinesio® Tape application Primary Author and Speaker: Steven Frey Additional Authors and Speakers: Mark Stumpf, Jacob Wright, and Sara Stephenson Contributing Authors: John Wong, Lauren Loges
