RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Given the high prevalence of chronic shoulder pain and encouraging early results of terminal sensory articular branch (TSAB) radiofrequency ablation to treat shoulder pain, research is warranted to refine the procedural technique based on updated neuroanatomical knowledge with the goal of further improving patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We describe an updated radiofrequency ablation protocol that accounts for varied locations of the TSABs of suprascapular, axillary, subscapular and lateral pectoral nerves within individual patients. DESIGN: Technical note. METHODS: Cadaveric studies delineating the sensory innervation of the shoulder joint were reviewed, and a more comprehensive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) protocol is proposed relative to historical descriptions. CONCLUSIONS: Based on neuroanatomical dissections of the shoulder joint, the proposed RFA protocol will provide a safe means of more complete sensory denervation and potentially improve clinical outcomes compared to historical descriptions, which must be confirmed in prospective studies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Chronic pain has a significant impact on functioning and results in the disruption of one's assumed life trajectory, potentially altering their self-perceived identity. The present research is designed to determine whether identity-related issues are associated with common chronic pain cognitions and pain-related disability, which may help inform understanding of clinical chronic pain populations. METHOD: Ninety-eight adult chronic pain patients were assessed at a local pain clinic during a regularly scheduled appointment focusing on pain management. Multivariate hierarchal regression was used to determine whether issues related to identity and death anxiety were associated with pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and pain-related disability, above and beyond pain severity, fear-avoidance, and age. RESULTS: Self-concept clarity was significantly related to pain catastrophizing and pain acceptance, above and beyond death anxiety, pain severity, fear-avoidance, and age. Death anxiety was associated with pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and pain-related disability above and beyond pain severity, fear-avoidance, and age. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first examination of self-concept clarity and death anxiety as they relate to pain catastrophizing, pain acceptance, and pain-related disability. These descriptive results support the inclusion of identity and death anxiety within the pain experience and could serve as a foundation for future directions relevant to clinical applications.
