Abstract

Studies have reported relief of chronic shoulder pain with non-ablative pulsed neuromodulatory [pRF] or ablative radiofrequency [aRF] procedures on innervation of the shoulder joint but interpretation of these reports is hampered by inconsistent indications, anatomic targets, and follow-up. This systematic review was conducted to synthesize the existing literature on procedures employing pRF or aRF for treating chronic shoulder pain.
