Efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound in a rat knee osteoarthritis model: A randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on osteoarthritic rat knees. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four rats were divided into 3 groups: group 1-control (n=8), group 2-LIPUS (n=8) and group 3-ESWT (n=8). Cartilage degeneration was provided using mono-iodo-asetate (MIA). One milligram of MIA was deliv...
