Systematic review shows steroid injections offer short-term pain relief in children, suggesting safety but needing further research.
CSI may provide temporary pain relief for select pediatric peripheral musculoskeletal conditions, albeit with limited and low quality supporting evidence. Despite current data suggesting a favorable short-term safety profile, longer-term effects and standardized dosing guidelines are insufficient. Larger, higher-quality trials with more varied pediatric pathologies are required in order to elucidate the role of CSI in non-rheumatologic pediatric pain management.
