摘要: A prospective, controlled, randomised trial was performed to compare the effect of high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) versus low-energy ESWT in treatment rotator cuff tendinopathy. Forty adult patients were included study. Patients intervention group received 6000 impulses (ED+ 0.78 mJ/mm2) 3 sessions under local anaesthesia. control a 0.33 Follow-up examinations 12 weeks and one year after by an independent observer. An increase function reduction pain found both groups (p < 0.001). Although improvement Constant score greater compared group, statistical analyses showed no significant difference between with respect all parameters studied (Constant score/pain/subjective improvement) follow-up. No statistically differences results
