Abstract

Background: Periarthritis shoulder affects the glenohumeral joint with a number of medical synonyms including frozen shoulder, scapula humeral periarthritis, adhesive capsulitis, pericapsulitis, stiff shoulder and obliterative bursitis.

Results: There is no gender wise significant difference in the pain scores & disability scores and the SPADI when either dexamethasone or triamcinolone was used.

Conclusion: There is no gender wise significant difference in the overall final outcomes of SSNB when either dexamethasone or triamcinolone was used.
