“…Accordingly, the application of ESWT has been increasing 16) . Furia 17) , who examined the effects of ESWT on pain and functional improvement in 34 subjects, and Hsu 18) , who looked at the effects of ESWT in 36 subjects, noted significant changes in VAS and CMS after treatment. In the present study, the ESWT group's pain as measured by VAS and CMS and activities of daily living showed statistically significant improvement compared to the PNF group (p<0.05).…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The study aims to examines the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), and trigger point injection (TPI) on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) of the upper trapezius muscle and compares their treatment effects, thereby presenting precise and efficient treatment methods.[Subjects] Thirty-three patients with MPS in the upper trapezius muscle were divided into three groups: a PNF group (n=11), ESWT group (n=11), and a TPI group (n=11).[Methods] The degree of pain was measured using the visual analog scale (VAS). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle by using a pressure algometer, and the Constant-Murley scale (CMS) and neck disability index (NDI) was applied for functional evaluation.[Results] A comparison of the effects of the different treatment methods revealed no significant differences among the groups in terms of PPT, but CMS (pain, range, and activities of daily living) and NDI showed significant differences among groups.[Conclusion] PNF treatment enhanced neck function, range of motion in the shoulder joint, and activities of daily living relative to the other methods; ESWT reduced degree of pain and improved functioning. TPI treatment reduced pain, but had limited effects in enhancing functional activities.

“…These results are in agreement with the study of Furia, who examined 34 patients for the effects of ESWT on pain and bodily functions 15) . Similarly, Hsu et al treated 46 patients with ESWT and found significant changes in VAS and CMS (p<0.05) 16) . Haake et al reported that some patients complained of slight increases in pain after ESWT, however the reaction was temporary 17) .…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study examined how the non-invasive method of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and the invasive method of trigger point injection (TPI) affected subjects with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the trapezius muscle in terms of alleviation pain and enhancement of bodily functions, and proposes a more effective treatment method.[Subjects] Thirty-one patients with MPS in the trapezius muscle were divided into three groups: an ESWT group (n=10), a TPI group (n=13), and a control group (n=8).[Methods] The degree of pain was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at trigger points in the trapezius muscle using a pressure algometer, and the Constant-Murley scale (CMS) was used for functional evaluation.[Results] All three groups showed statistically significant improvements in terms of VAS following treatment. For the pressure pain threshold, only the TPI group showed a statistically significant improvement. CMS showed statistically significant improvements in all three groups, following the treatment. A comparison of the effects of the different treatment methods revealed no significant differences among the groups in terms of VAS and PPT, but CMS showed significant differences between the control and treatment groups. However, between the ESWT group and the TPI group, no significant difference was found in any category.[Conclusion] The study results suggest that the non-invasive method of ESWT is as effective as the invasive method of TPI in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome.

“…A largo plazo, las calcificaciones se resuelven en 47 a 93%, y la mejoría clínica sustancial o completa se logra en 66-91%. Sin embargo, es un procedimiento doloroso y requiere de equipamiento especial necesitando al menos tres sesiones para su aplicación separadas por 2-4 semanas [11][12][13] . La cirugía artroscópica es considerada una alternativa de segunda línea en caso de falla del tratamiento médico, siendo aún más efectiva que las ondas de choque a largo plazo, alcanzando una mejoría clínica sustancial o completa en 80-100% de los pacientes.…”
