ISAKOS2017: Similar 12-week outcome between high- and low-dose steroid for shoulder stiffness
Contributing Authors

I Park

147 patients with a diagnosis of shoulder stiffness were randomized to an intraarticular injection of either 20mg or 40mg triamcinolone acetonide. Patients were assessed over a 12-month follow-up for results regarding pain, shoulder range of motion, and functional scores. Subgroup analysis of diabetic patients from each group was also performed, assessing blood glucose, fructosamine, and HbA1c levels. Overall, no significant differences between groups in pain, shoulder range of motion, or functional scores were found. In diabetic patients, the 20mg group demonstrated significantly lower blood glucose levels at 6 weeks post-injection in comparison to the 40mg group.
