Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the clinical effects on the ESWT treatment of shoulder and neck pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used to treat various musculoskeletal disorders. The beneficial effects of the ESWT included pain alleviation and improvement in local blood circulation. However, few study exploring the effects of the ESWT for subjects with shoulder and neck pain.
