Abstract

Abstract:

Periarthritis of shoulder is a disease characterized by pain and limited range of motion in the shoulder. The underlying pathology is soft tissue fibrosis and inflammation of the shoulder joint, joint capsule, and ligament. It often occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Nerve block treatment for periarthritis of shoulder's short-term local effect is significant, but the disease is easy to repeat and delay. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly used in many medical fields and in recent years has been used in the treatment of periarthritis of shoulder. Many studies have found that B-ultrasound-guided intraarticular injection of PRP combined with nerve block can effectively improve the symptoms of patients with periarthritis of shoulder. This article mainly reviews the possible pathogenesis of periarthritis of shoulder and the potential mechanism and research progress of PRP combined with nerve block in the treatment of periarthritis of shoulder.

摘要：

肩周炎是一种以疼痛和肩部活动范围受限为特征的疾病，潜在的病理是软组织纤维化与肩关节、关节囊和韧带的炎症，好发于中老年人。神经阻滞治疗肩周炎短期局部效果显著，但病情易反复、迁延。富血小板血浆（platelet-rich plasma，PRP）在许多医学领域的应用越来越多，近年来逐渐应用于肩周炎的治疗。众多研究发现B超引导下关节内注射PRP联合神经阻滞可有效改善肩周炎患者的症状。本文主要对肩周炎可能的发病机制和PRP联合神经阻滞治疗肩周炎的潜在机制及研究进展进行综述。
