Keywords
rotator cuff arthropathy, reverse shoulder arthroplasty, supraescapular nerve radiofrecuency, post operative pain
Brief summary
The purpuse of this study is to asses if the pulsed radiofrecuency of the supraescapular nerve and accesory nerve have the same or superior efectivity controlling the acute postoperative pain than interscalenic braquial plexus block
Detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind trial that compares the effect in postoperative pain of pulsed radiofrecuency of the supraescapular nerve carried out at least two to four weeks before reverse total shoulder arthroplasty surgery with interscalenic braquial plexus block done at the moment of the surgery. All the patients received conventional general anaesthesia and multimodal postoperative analgesia with additional patient-controlled rescue analgesics were prescribed

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogical scale | periodical measurements of pain, inmediate preoperative pain up to three months postoperative | Postoperative acute pain measurement. From 0 to 10, Zero means no pain and ten would be the worse pain that the paitient could feel. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogical scale | 3 months postop. until 1 year postop | chronic pain after surgery. From 0 to 10, Zero means no pain and ten would be the worse pain that the paitient could feel. |
