Study summary
Chronic shoulder pain due to impingement syndrome and supraspinatus tendinosis is a debilitating condition. Suprascapular nerve innervates most part of shoulder joint. Supraspinatus nerve block can be used as a part of pain therapy. However, its efficacy is short-lasting. To prolong analgesia, short bursts of electrical stimulation to suprascapular nerve may be applied. To the date there is no consensus about duration of these type of stimulation. Investigators' aim is to investigate efficacy of two different duration of stimulation (pulsed radiofrequency) on chronic shoulder pain.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Postprocedure 3th month pain severity — From procedure to 3 months after prodecure Severity of pain will be assessed with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) at baseline, 1 weeks, 1 months and 3 months after interventions. NRS-11 is a 11 point likert type scale. Higher scores represent more severe pain.
