Summary:To evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular steroid injection of the shoulder joint with exercises in the management of patients with adhesive capsulitis and to compare glenohumeral (GH) versus subacromial subdeltoid (SASD) ultrasound-guided approaches. Forty patients with adhesive capsulitis were randomly divided into 2 groups according to injection approach. Patients received ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection methylprednisolone acetate (40 mg) and 1 ml 2% lidocaine followed by exercise for 12 weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and active range of motion (ROM) were assessed before and 12 weeks post-injection. The mean age of the patients was 47.3 ± 8.7 years with 12 females and 8 males in each group. After injection, there was a significant improvement of pain (VAS) and SPADI in both groups (p
