German term or phrase: N.sc.
In a German medical invoice, there are columns and under Ziffer 255 the following:

"Injektion, intraartikulär/perineural N.sc.; Schulter"

Can't find this abbreviation in the internet, but thought someone would be able to figure out what it is an abbreviation for in German, and what it would be in English.

Thanks!

I could not find any reference to a subclavicular nerve block. There are plenty of references to supraclavicular nerve blocks.
