“…Thus, patients do not need to spend much time or money on ESWT. Because of these beneficial characteristics, ESWT has been a therapeutic option for the treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases ( 6 , 7 ), including plantar fasciitis ( 8 – 10 ), calcific shoulder tendinopathy ( 11 ), tennis elbow ( 12 ), trigger finger ( 13 ), knee osteoarthritis ( 14 ), and bone non-union ( 15 – 17 ). ESWT has also been utilized to treat wounds ( 18 – 21 ), urological diseases ( 22 – 24 ), and male erectile rejuvenation ( 25 ).…”

Neurological disorders are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and their therapeutic options remain limited. Recent animal and clinical studies have shown the potential of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) as an innovative, safe, and cost-effective option to treat neurological disorders. Moreover, the cellular and molecular mechanism of ESWT has been proposed to better understand the regeneration and repairment of neurological disorders by ESWT. In this review, we discuss the principles of ESWT, the animal and clinical studies involving the use of ESWT to treat central and peripheral nervous system diseases, and the proposed cellular and molecular mechanism of ESWT. We also discuss the challenges encountered when applying ESWT to the human brain and spinal cord and the new potential applications of ESWT in treating neurological disorders.

“…Many studies confirm that the f-ESWT method is noninvasive, safe, and without severe contraindications for breaking up calcifications [ 25 – 27 ]. The experience of various authors is that they used f-ESWT at an intensity ranging between 10 and 21 bars, a frequency of 20 Hz, and some shocks ranging from two to four thousand [ 28 ].…”

The prospective, simple randomized study assesses the effect of focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (f-ESWT) on pain intensity and calcification size compared to the application of ultrasound physical therapy in treating patients with calcar calcanei. A total of 124 patients diagnosed with calcar calcanei were consecutively included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group ( n = 62 ), which included the patients treated with f-ECWT, and the control group ( n = 62 ), consisting of patients treated with the standard ultrasound therapy method. The experimental group’s patients received ten therapy applications spaced seven days apart. The patients in the control group had ten ultrasound treatments on ten consecutive days over two weeks. All patients in both groups were tested using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to measure pain intensity before the beginning and at the end of treatment. The size of the calcification was assessed in all patients. The study hypothesizes that f-ESWT reduces the pain and the size of the calcification. Pain intensity reduction was registered in all patients. The calcification size in patients in the experimental group was reduced from the initial range of 2 mm–15 mm, to a content of 0.0 mm–6.2 mm. The calcification size in the control group ranged from 1.2 to 7.5 mm, without any change. None of the patients experienced any adverse reactions to the therapy. Patients treated with standard ultrasound therapy did not have a statistically significant reduction in the calcification size. In contrast, the patients in the experimental group treated with f-ESWT showed a substantial decrease in the calcification size.

This method of conservative treatment of orthopedic and traumatological conditions diseases, such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been gaining popularity in recent years. Objective. Review modern (for the last 5 years) sourcesof literature on the use of ESWT in the treatment of ortopedotraumatic diseases of the upper limbs. Methods. Publicationsfrom the search system Google, PubMed, Medline and other relevant sources scientific and medical information with the indication of the subject method and the most common orthopedic and traumatological of diseases of the upper limb were analyzed: «ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) AND fracture», «ESWT AND tendonitis», «ESWT AND subacromial impingement syndrome», «ESWT AND adhesive capsulitis», «ESWT AND frozen schoulder», «ESWT AND trigger finger», «ESWTOR AND lateral epicondylitis», «ESWT AND medial epicondylitis », «ESWT AND ostheoarthritis», «ESWT AND tendinopathy»,«ESWT AND injure». Results. A total of 272 scientific articles were found. The articles related to histological, biomechanicaland experimental studies, wounds, burns and post-stroke changes of the upper limbs, diseases other localizations, as well asmethods of conservative and surgical treatment were excluded. 51 articles were selected for analysis. It was determined thatESWT is used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis; calcifying tendinitis of muscles shoulder tendinopathies, partial injuriesof rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder; subacromial impingement syndrome; adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder; ununitedfractures and delayed union; navicular bone of the wrist; diseases of the hand (carpal tunnel syndrome, snapping finger, Dupuytren's contracture, tendinopathies); fractures of the humerus and clavicle; tendinopathy of the distal tendon of the bicepsbrachii muscle. Conclusions. ESWT is a modern and effective method of conservative treatment of orthopedic and traumatological diseases of the upper limb and can be used both independently and in combination with standard methods of conservative treatment.
