Shock wave treatment of muscle cells
Introduction Shock waves have recently been exploited for treatment of skeletal muscle especially in the elderly as they can suffer from muscle waste resulting in a high socioeconomic burden. Material and Method Murine C2C12 & human C25 myoblasts and primary...

Shock wave treatment reduces neuronal degeneration upon spinal cord ischemia and improves symptoms in a first-in-man trial
Introduction In pre-clinical and clinical studies SWT had a favorable effect on ischemic myocardium. We therefore hypothesized that SWT may have a beneficial effect on spinal cord ischemia. Material and Method Mice underwent aortic cross clamp surgery and received 500...

Shock wave therapy for osteoinduction
Introduction Bone substitutes can be used if human's capacity for bone regeneration is lacking. We think that shock waves (UESW) can improve bone ingrowth and angiogenesis. Material and Method Three different bone substitutes were implanted in a 6 mm femoral...

Efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for male chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Introduction: Chronic Prostatitis/ Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) according to NIH is genitourinary pain or discomfort lasting 3 or more months with undetectable uropathogenic bacteria. Material & Methods: Randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study has been conducted in...

Penile low-intensity shock wave therapy for PDE5i non-responders suffering from vasculogenic erectile dysfunction since 2-10 years
Background: Several animal and human studies have evaluated the role of lowintensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LIST) in the management of multiple disorders such as chronic wounds, peripheral neuropathy and cardiac ischemic disease. LIST was reported to trigger a chain of...

Shock wave treatment for in vitro engineering applications
Introduction: Recently, the cellular effects of shock wave treatment have been thoroughly studied using in vitro approaches. We already described intracellular pathways involved in the shock wave treatment effect using the in vitro shock wave treatment (IVSWT) water bath set-up...

The beneficial effects of in vitro shock wave treatment on cardiomyogenesis
Introduction: In the recent years, more and more evidence for the beneficial effect of shock waves for the treatment of cardiac diseases is arising. Myocardial infarction (MI) and other cardiac diseases are still the number one reason for death as...

Low-energy shock waves treatment induces angiogenesis in ischemic muscle by stimulation of Toll-like receptor 3 signalling
Background: Low energy shock waves (SW) have been shown to induce angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium. The mechanism translating the physical stimulus to a biological signal is unknown. Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 is activated by RNA binding. It plays a key role...
