Medications such as NSAIDs can be used for pain control. Corticosteroids are used in some cases either through local injection or systemically. Oral steroids may provide short-term benefits in range of movement and pain but have side effects such as hyperglycemia. Steroid injections compared to physical therapy have similar effect in improving shoulder function and decreasing pain. The benefits of steroid injections appear to be short-term. It is unclear whether ultrasound guided injections can improve pain or function over anatomy-guided injections.
