Many recently elucidated anatomical factors predispose to entrapment. A history of overhead sports or known rotator cuff disease can heighten a clinician's suspicion. Entrapment at the suprascapular notch is more common overall, yet young athletes may be predisposed to isolated spinoglenoid notch entrapment. Pulsed radiofrequency, peripheral nerve stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may be effective in treating patients with suprascapular nerve entrapment. Arthroscopic treatment remains the gold-standard in patients with refractory entrapment symptoms.
