Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Glenohumeral corticosteroid injections provide rapid short-term pain relief for adhesive capsulitis, but offer no long-term advantage over placebo or other treatments.
Corticosteroid injections offer rapid pain relief in the short-term (particularly in the first 6 weeks) for adhesive capsulitis. Long-term outcomes seem to be similar to other treatments, including placebo. The added benefit of image-guided corticosteroid injections in improving shoulder outcomes needs further assessment.
