Comments on ‘a systematic review and meta-analysis of radiofrequency procedures on innervation to the shoulder joint for relieving chronic pain’ by Pushparaj et al.
Abstract
We read with great interest the paper "A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Radiofrequency Procedures on Innervation to the Shoulder Joint for relieving Chronic Pain" by Pushparaj and colleagues (2021). This is an excellent and timely systematic assessment of predominately pulsed radiofrequency neurotomy (pRF) of the suprascapular nerve and we commend the authors for their robust methodology and willingness to hold up a commonly accepted pain clinic treatment to appropriate scientific scrutiny.
