“…Regarding the pain, the results of this study are consistent with the studies of Akinoglu et al Maffulli et al Ordahan et al and Lizis et al [14,[27][28][29]. ESWT is a treatment, in which waves are produced by electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and electrohydrolysis techniques.…”

Purpose: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a relatively new method in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as plantar fasciitis. This study aimed to compare two methods of treatment with extracorporeal shockwave and stretching in athletes with chronic plantar fasciitis. Methods: The study was a randomized clinical trial. A total of 30 male athletes with chronic plantar fasciitis voluntarily participated in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups; ESWT (n=15) and stretching exercises (n=15). Both treatment methods were applied once a week for five weeks. Pain, the Range of Motion (ROM) of the ankle joint, and the strength of the plantar flexors of the ankle were assessed, using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), goniometer, and dynamometer before and after the interventions. Results: VAS scores significantly decreased in both groups after the treatment (P<0.001). Furthermore, after the treatment, the ROM and the strength of plantar flexors increased dramatically in both groups (P<0.001). There were no significant between-group differences at any time (P>0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that both methods of stretching and ESWT are suitable methods for improving the symptoms in chronic plantar fasciitis. There was no significant difference in the effect of both types of treatment. According to the results, stretching is easier, non-invasive, and less costly method. So, it seems to be a preferable method for ESWT. However, more studies are required because of the limitations of this research.

“…5 A growing number of evidence-based studies have suggested treatment modalities for MPS including trigger point injection (TPI), dry needling, stretching, ultrasound (US), manual therapies, superficial hot pack (HP) and cold pack, medical treatments, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and massage. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a novel, non-invasive therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal system diseases such as calcific tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, and lateral and medial epicondylitis [16][17][18][19] as well as for MPS. [20][21][22][23][24] Although there are some theories proposed, the mechanism of action of ESWT on MPS still remains to be elucidated.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on pain, sleep, fatigue, disability, depression, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Patients and methods: Between March 2018 and September 2018, a total of 94 patients (16 males, 78 females; mean age 44.2±11.94 years; range, 19 to 74 years) with the diagnosis of MPS were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. The treatment group consisted of 49 patients and a total of seven sessions of high-energy flux density ESWT (H-ESWT) (0.26 mJ/mm 2) were given with three days interval. The control group consisted of 45 patients and the treatment of hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and ultrasound was given for five days for two weeks. At baseline and one month after treatment, the visual analog scale (VAS), Short Form-36 (SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale, Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores were compared between the groups. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the age, sex, demographic characteristics, and baseline VAS, SF-36, NDI, BDI, FACIT, and PSQI scores between the groups (p>0.05). In the ESWT group, there was a statistically significant decrease in the VAS, SF-36, NDI, BDI, FACIT, and PSQI scores after treatment compared to the baseline scores, while only the SF-36 subscale scores were statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant correlation between the VAS and SF-36 scores and the BDI, NDI, FACIT and PSQI scores after the treatment. Conclusion: Our study results suggest that H-ESWT is more effective than traditional physical therapy methods on pain, QoL, sleep, fatigue, depression, and disability in patients with MPS.

“…KT has been used as a part of the treatment for various conditions, including metatarsophalangeal instability [18], cerebral palsy [19], shoulder impingement syndrome [20], lower back pain [21], plantar fasciitis [22] and lateral epicondylitis [23]. There is insufficient information on KT efficacy in the treatment of CTS.…”

Aim: Kinesiotaping (KT) is a non-invasive method used for the treatment of pain and muscle dysfunction. In this study we assess the effect of KT on carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Material and Method: A total of 56 patients diagnosed with CTS were randomly selected and KT applicated two times for a period of three days. Results were evaluated before and after the application using the Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire, the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Duruöz hand index. Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 42.9±11.7 years, with 41 being female (73.2%) and 15 male (26.8%). A majority of the KT applications (83.2%) were done on the right hand of the patients, 8.9% were on the left hand, and 1.8% were bilateral. There was a statistical difference, according to Paired-samples t test of VAS, Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire and Duruöz hand index. (p = 0.00/p=0.000/p= 0.011). Moreover, in terms of gender, the Boston function severity score (FSS) after application was statistically higher in the female participants compared to the male participants (p = 0.047). Conclusion: Following the application of KT, pain intensity was reduced, hand function and daily activities were improved for the patients with CTS. Greater improvement was observed after the application with KT in the male patients compared to the female patients.
