Abstract

Background: The main cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction in middle aged and elderly populations.2 It most commonly affects women aged between 40 and 60 years. Frozen shoulder has been shown to have an incidence of 3% to 5% in the general population and up to 20% in those with diabetes. This disorder is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems in orthopaedics.

Methods: Total 70 cases were included in this study. This study was conducted in Department of Anesthesia. The duration of study was over a period of one year.

Results: This study revealed that pain intensity on 1st, 3rd, 6th week which were 50, 25, 20, 5 & 50, 25, 20, 5 in both group. The p value <0.05 score of pain was considered significant. We also observed p value of range of motion which was also considered significant.

Conclusions: This study conclude that both IASI and SSNB interventions are effective in the management of AC, and efficacy of both is more or less similar in relieving shoulder pain, functional disability, and improving ROM in the management of AC.
