CRD SUMMARY: The authors concluded that corticosteroid use was associated with an improvement in symptoms in 57% of patients. Limitations in the literature search, the poor quality and small number of included studies, and failure to appropriately synthesise the results mean that these findings should be interpreted with extreme caution.
