New pain relief hope for seniors with frozen shoulder

This study tested a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) in 32 patients aged 65 and older. The treatment uses ultrasound guidance to deliver gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in the shoulder, aiming to reduce pain and improve movement without damaging the nerve. Results showed improvements in pain scores and shoulder function, offering a potential option for elderly patients who may not tolerate more invasive procedures.
