Journal ArticleDOI
Analgesic effect of extracorporeal shock-wave therapy on chronic tennis elbow
TL;DR: There was significant alleviation of pain and improvement of function after treatment in group I in which there was a good or excellent outcome in 48% and an acceptable result in 42% at the final review, compared with 6% and 24%, respectively, in group II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy for painful heel: a prospective controlled single-blind study
TL;DR: There was a significant alleviation of pain and improvement of function at all follow-ups in the treatment group, and no significant differences between the groups before ESWT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-energy extracorporal shock wave therapy for persistent tennis elbow
TL;DR: There was but significant relief of pain and improvement of function in group I with good or excellent outcome in 56% at the last evaluation, and no significant differences between the 2 groups before treatment.
