How do GLP-1 receptor agonists influence the progression of shoulder pathology? A matched cohort analysis
GLP-1RA therapy was associated with an increased incidence of certain shoulder pathologies, most notably adhesive capsulitis, suggesting GLP-1RAs may have adverse musculoskeletal effects in the shoulder joint. These findings highlight the need for future prospective studies to confirm these associations.
