Single-Site Corticosteroid Injection Is as Effective as Multisite Corticosteroid Injection in the Nonsurgical Treatment of Frozen Shoulder: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine whether multisite corticosteroid injection is more effective than a single injection in the nonsurgical treatment of frozen shoulder (FS) via a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Methods

We identified studies that evaluated the efficacy of multisite corticosteroid injections compared with single-site injection for FS. The Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched from inception to June 5, 2022. Methodologic quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Modified Coleman Methodology Score and the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool, respectively.
