Abstract

Background: Shoulder pain is one of the most often reported musculoskeletal symptoms. Shoulder pain can be caused by a number of different issues, including damage to the rotator cuff, subacromial impingement, osteoarthritis, adhesive capsulitis and pain after surgery, as well as bursitis. Motor-sparing nerve interventions are one of many treatments offered for chronic shoulder pain.
Objective: The goal of these interventions was to alleviate shoulder pain by blocking certain nerves without significant motor deficits.
Methods: In this review, we conducted a thorough search for relevant literature on the topic of chronic shoulder pain and its management. Our search included medical journals and databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, and we limited our inclusion criteria to studies published between 1994 and 2022. Additionally, we reviewed references from related works. To ensure consistency and accuracy, only documents published in English were considered for this review, and unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were excluded.
Conclusion: Articular nerve interventions that spare motor function have shown great potential in managing chronic shoulder pain. These interventions have a primary goal of improving shoulder function and reducing pain while minimizing the risk of any motor deficit.
