Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for wound healing : Technology, mechanisms, and clinical efficacy
For almost 30 years, extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been clinically implemented as an effective treatment to disintegrate urinary stones. This technology has also emerged as an effective noninvasive treatment modality for several orthopedic and traumatic indications including problematic soft...

Macrophage migration induces angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium after direct epicardial shock wave treatment
Introduction: Shock wave therapy (SWT) reportedly improves ventricular function in ischemic myocardium. The induction of a vessel forming effect is obvious. We aimed to proof the mechanism of angiogenesis by direct epicardial SWT in a rat model of ischemic heart...

Unfocused extracorporeal shock waves induce anabolic effects in rat bone
Background: Extracorporeal shock waves are known to stimulate the differentiation of mesenchymal cells toward osteoprogenitors and induce the expression of osteogenic-related growth hormones. The aim of this study was to investigate if and how extracorporeal shock waves affected new bone formation,...

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) minimizes ischemic tissue necrosis irrespective of application time and promotes tissue revascularization by stimulating angiogenesis
Objective: To assess the time-dependent treatment effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in a standard rodent ischemic epigastric flap model. Background: ESWT has been shown to accelerate tissue repair in acute and chronic wounds and improve graft survival, but the mechanism...

Extrakoprorale Stoßwellentherapie am Knochen – Voodoo oder Therapieoption?
Die extrakorporale Stoßwellentherapie (ESWT) stellt eine potente Alternative in der Behandlung von Knochenpathologien wie Pseudarthrosen und avaskulären Hüftkopfnekrosen dar. Klinisch beobachtete Therapieerfolge wurden bereits in experimentellen Versuchen bestätigt und der Wirkungsmechanismus zunehmend aufgeklärt – es geht von einer ursprünglich mechanischen...

Prospective randomized trial of accelerated re- epithelization of skin graft donor sites using extracorporeal shock wave therapy
Background: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy may enhance revascularization and repair of healing soft tissue. Methods: Between January 2006, and September 2007, 28 patients with acute traumatic wounds and burns requiring skin grafting were randomly assigned in a 1:1 fashion to receive...

The influence of comorbidities and etiologies on the success of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic soft tissue wounds: midterm results.
Possible effects of comorbidities and of different wound etiologies on the success of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) of chronic soft tissue wounds were investigated. From September 2003 until February 2007, 282 patients, being previously treated unsuccessfully were enrolled. Treatment...
