They enrolled trials that assessed the results of different pharmacological treatments for the primary management of adhesive capsulitis. The primary outcome was pain relief as measured by self-administered questionnaires. The secondary outcome included the assessment of composite instruments that evaluated, at a minimum, pain and function. The authors clinically interpreted the results after back-transforming the standardized mean differences into mean differences in simple instruments and assessed the quality of the source studies using the Cochrane \u201crisk of bias\u201d tool.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors considered 30 trials with a total of 2010 participants in this systematic review. For pain relief, there was a significant difference in favor of intra-articular corticosteroids and distension of the shoulder capsule with steroids as compared with control in the short term (mean difference in visual analog scale (VAS): \u20131.4 [95% CI, \u22122.5 to \u22120.4] and \u22121.7 [95% CI, \u22123.2 to \u22120.1], respectively). Furthermore, rotator-interval injections were found to be superior to placebo (mean difference in VAS: \u20137.2; 95% CI, \u221210.1 to \u22124.4), although the intervention was considered in only 1 trial. Finally, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of multiple-site corticosteroid injections compared to placebo in both the short- (mean difference in Shoulder Pain and Disability Index [SPADI]: \u221286.7; 95% CI, \u2212133.6 to \u221240) and intermediate-term assessment (mean difference in SPADI: \u2212102.9; 95% CI, \u2212163.9 to \u221241.8).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intra-articular corticosteroid intervention, administered either alone or after distension of the shoulder capsule, provided clinically meaningful improvements in the short term. Likewise, rotator-interval corticosteroid injections yielded promising results in terms of pain relief. However, these short-term benefits of steroids dissipated over time. Multiple-site corticosteroid injections showed clinical advantage over placebo for short- and intermediate-term composite outcome assessments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546518823337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,8]],"date-time":"2019-02-08T17:15:43Z","timestamp":1549646143000},"page":"3552-3560","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Efficacy of Pharmacological Therapies for Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Kitridis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Orthopaedic Department, 424 Army General Training Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"},{"name":"1st Orthopaedic Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, George Papanikolaou Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Tsikopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Orthopaedic Department, 424 Army General Training Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"},{"name":"2nd Orthopaedic Department, Papageorgiou General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilias","family":"Bisbinas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Orthopaedic Department, 424 Army General Training Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paraskevi","family":"Papaioannidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Givissis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Orthopaedic Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, George Papanikolaou Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s002960100127"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-016-4862-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215508086179"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","first-page":"1038","article-title":"Development of the QuickDASH: comparison of three item-reduction approaches","volume":"87","author":"Beaton DE","year":"2005","unstructured":"Beaton DE, Wright JG, Katz JN.
