Relationship between Nontraumatic Shoulder Disorders and Neuropathic Pain: Retrospective Observational Analyses of Clinical Features and Background Factors
CONCLUSION: The occurrence of neuropathic pain may aggravate pain in patients with nontraumatic shoulder disorders. Neuropathic pain was not a rare condition in patients with nontraumatic shoulder disorders, particularly in those with frozen shoulder. The coexistence of neuropathic pain cannot be determined from background factors or physical function. Accurate diagnosis of neuropathic pain is essential in patients with nontraumatic shoulder disorders.PMID:37808338 | PMC:PMC10558267 | DOI:10.1155/2023/6046746 (Source: Anesthesiology Research and Practice)

Impact of Peripheral Nerve Block Technique on Incidence of Phrenic Nerve Palsy in Shoulder Surgery
Anesthesiol Res Pract. 2023 Sep 11;2023:9962595. doi: 10.1155/2023/9962595. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTPeripheral nerve blocks are an increasingly common method of providing postoperative analgesia for shoulder surgeries. However, the standard technique, the interscalene block (ISB), inevitably causes hemidiaphragmatic paresis (HDP), secondary to phrenic nerve palsy. This can cause morbidity in patients with preexisting respiratory compromise, prompting investigation into alternative "phrenic-sparing" nerve blocks. The aim of this review was to give an overview of these blocks and critically evaluate the current literature t...
