Effectiveness of repeated ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve blocks in hemiplegic shoulder pain: A randomized controlled trial
Repeated SSNB effectively reduces pain and improves ROM in patients with HSP when combined with physiotherapy. However, it does not significantly impact spasticity or motor function. Further research with longer follow-ups and active comparators is needed to determine its long-term benefits.
