“…O alívio da dor ocorrerá neste caso após meses, provavelmente devido ao tempo necessário para o restabelecimento biológico do tecido e resolução da inflamação. 16 Na fase aguda da lesão, substâncias inflamatórias estão presentes em excesso o que torna o tecido hipersensibilizado. Esta fase pode durar entre 5 e 15 dias.…”

“…Among the several conservative treatment options for PF, ESWT is considered the gold standard. And PF also happens to be one of the indications with the best results after applying ESWT, along with insertional tendinopathy of the Achilles tendon and mid-portion Achillodynia ( 19 , 20 ). We can learn in a meta-analysis that Fan et al found that moderate energy ESWT (0.12–0.25 mJ/mm2) had similar effects to low energy ESWT (0.06–0.11 mJ/mm2) in improving pain scores in Achilles tendinopathy, suggesting that further studies are needed to determine the optimal energy level for treating Achilles tendinopathy.…”

Tendinopathy is a degenerative disease of the tendons caused by prolonged overstretching or overuse of the tendons. It accounts for a large proportion of musculoskeletal disorders which can occur in all age groups. The management of tendinopathy is typically conservative. In clinical practice, when other conservative treatments fail, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is normally used as an efficient alternative to surgical management. Several basic studies have shown that ESWT with lower energy flux densities can produce some biological responses in vivo to tendinopathy and may accelerate the initiation of the healing process in injured tendons. ESWT has a positive impact on the interactive chain of biological response, enhancing the signaling pathways of angiogenesis through mechanical conduction, and promoting cell proliferation and collagen formation. Finally, it helps tissue regeneration by controlling inflammation. The purpose of this review is to summarize the biological responses generated by ESWT in tendinopathy through a comprehensive review of the published literature. Although ESWT has been used clinically for the treatment of tendinopathies for nearly decades, less is known about the experimental studies of its biological effects on tendon tissue. Further studies on the biological response of ESWT for tendon injuries in vivo are needed in the future in order to provide better management to patients.

“…Because of its economy and effectiveness, it has gradually become a very essential means of rehabilitation medicine in recent years. ESWT has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, such as plantar fasciitis [ 3 ] and tennis elbow [ 4 , 5 ], as well as some neurological conditions [ 6 , 7 ]. The technology has developed rapidly in recent years, with the introduction of more advanced equipment and improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action.…”

Background This study intended to analyze the application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in medicine and to evaluate the quality of related literature. Methods All publications were extracted from 2000 to 2021 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The literature characteristics were depicted by VOSviewer (version 1.6.15) and the online bibliometric website (http://bibliometric.com/). The future trends and hotspots were conducted by Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (version 2.0) and gCLUTO software. Results We analyzed 1774 articles corresponding to the criteria for ESWT publications from 2000 to 2021. Most studies were conducted within the United States and China which besides have the most cooperation. The most published research institutions are Chang Gung University, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and Kaohsiung Medical University. Six research hotspots were identified by keyword clustering analysis: Cluster0: The effects of ESWT on muscle spasticity; Cluster1: The application of ESWT in osteoarthritis (OA); Cluster2: Therapeutic effect of ESWT on tendon diseases; Cluster3: Early application of ESWT/ESWL in urolithiasis; Cluster4: The Role of angiogenesis in ESWT and the efficiency of ESWT for penile disease; Cluster5: The Special value of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT). Conclusions A comprehensive and systematic bibliometric analysis of ESWT was conducted in our study. We identified six ESWT-related research hotspots and predicted future research trends. With the gradual increase of research on ESWT, we find that ESWT is used more and more extensively, such in musculoskeletal disease, bone delay union, neurological injury, andrology disorders, lymphedema, and so on. In addition, the mechanism is not destructive damage, as initially thought, but a restorative treatment. Furthermore, delayed union, cellulite, burn, and diabetic foot ulcers may be the future direction of scientific study.
