AB015. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy as an alternative treatment for Peyronie’s disease
Extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) was introduced in urology for treatment of Peyronie’s disease (PD) near 20 years. The treatment is not invasive and appears to be effective. However, evidences on long-term follow-up of ESW in PD are still lacking. In addition, effects of ESW on PD are inconsistent. Some studies believed that ESW may resolve pain in PD patients, but not reduce curvature and plaqu...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock waves: from lithotripsy to anti-inflammatory action by NO production.
At low energy density (0.03 mJ/mm2), extracorporeal shock waves (ESW), originally developed for clinical lithotripsy, have successfully been used for anti-inflammatory treatment of soft tissues. Since nitric oxide plays a critical role in inflammation, we hypothesized for ESW to increase NO production in cells. Using human umbilical vein endothelial cells as a model system, we observed that ESW...

متن کاملImpact of extracorporeal shock waves on the human skin with cellulite: A case study of an unique instance
In this case study of an unique instance, effects of medium-energy, high-focused extracorporeal generated shock waves (ESW) onto the skin and the underlying fat tissue of a cellulite afflicted, 50-year-old woman were investigated. The treatment consisted of four ESW applications within 21 days. Diagnostic high-resolution ultrasound (Collagenoson) was performed before and after treatment. Direct...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock waves as curative therapy for varicose veins?
In this prospective design study the effects of low-energy partially focused extracorporeal generated shock waves (ESW) onto a subcutaneous located varicose vein - left vena saphena magna (VSM)- are investigated. The treatment consisted of 4 ESW applications within 21 days. The varicose VSM of both sides were removed by surgery, and samples analyzed comparing the treated and untreated by means ...
