Combined Platelet Rich Plasma Intra-articular Shoulder Injection and Stellate Ganglion Block. A New Technique for Management of Chronic Post-mastectomy Shoulder Pain Syndrome
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Platelet rich plasma and ketamine and bupivacaine injection for Breast Neoplasms. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background and Purpose: Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder is commonly found in patients after breast cancer treatment. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of combined shoulder joint intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) with stellate ganglion block (SGB) with ketamine \&bupivacaine injection as a new technique for frozen shoulder (FS) management after mastectomy. Methods: Sixty four patients with chronic post-mastectomy shoulder pain and stiffness were randomly allocated into one of two groups: group A; ultrasound guided SGB (1 ml ketamine in a dose of 0.5mg/kg plus 5ml bupivacaine 0.5% in total volume 10 ml) and group B; ultrasound guided SGB plus posterior approach shoulder injection with PRP. Visual analogue score (VAS) at rest and at shoulder movement, range of motions (ROM) of shoulder and disability of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire were recorded.
