Article Synopsis
- The global estimate of shoulder pain is high at 67%, often linked to subacromial impingement syndrome, and common treatments include corticosteroid injections (CSI) and physiotherapy.
- A systematic review of three randomized controlled trials with 452 participants found that CSI showed improvement in shoulder function at 6-7 weeks but did not outperform physiotherapy for pain or range of motion over 4-12 weeks.
- The conclusion indicates that while CSI may improve shoulder function in the short term, there’s no clear advantage over physiotherapy for pain relief or joint mobility, suggesting a need for careful consideration in treatment choices.
