Extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the treatment of chronic calcifying tendonitis of the rotator cuff: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used to treat calcific tendonitis of the shoulder, but trials of ESWT for this purpose have had methodological deficiencies and thus there is limited evidence for its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE To determine whether fluoroscopy-guided ESWT improves function, reduces pain, and diminishes the size of calcific deposits in patients with chron...
متن کاملEffect of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy for treating patients with chronic rotator cuff tendonitis
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) for treating patients with chronic rotator cuff tendonitis (CRCT). METHODS In this study, 84 patients with CRCT were randomly divided into intervention and control groups in a ratio of 1:1. Patients in the intervention group received ESWT, whereas those in the control group received pl...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock-wave therapy for tendonitis of the rotator cuff. A double-blind, randomised, controlled trial.
We have performed a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of moderate doses of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) for non-calcific tendonitis of the rotator cuff. Adults (74) with chronic tendonitis of the rotator cuff were randomised to receive either active (1500 pulses ESWT at 0.12 mJ/mm2) or sham treatment, monthly for three months. All were assessed before each treatment, and at one ...
متن کاملHigh-energy extracorporeal shock-wave therapy for calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff: a randomised trial.
In a prospective randomised trial of calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff, we compared the efficacy of dual treatment sessions delivering 2500 extracorporeal shock waves at either high- or low-energy, via an electromagnetic generator under fluoroscopic guidance. Patients were eligible for the study if they had more than a three-month history of calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff, wi...
متن کاملRadial extracorporeal shock-wave therapy in rotator cuff calcific tendinosis.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Radial Extracorporeal Shock-wave Therapy (RESWT) compared with High Power LASER Therapy (HPLT) for the treatment of patients with Rotator Cuff Calcific Tendinosis (RCCT). RCCT is widely diffused, it is painful and invalidating. It is an important public health problem with social and economic implications. The most common therapeuti...
