Am J Sports Med 2008;36:2100- 2109

Chronic plantar fasciopathy can be treated efficiently with radial shock wave therapy, which can be administered to outpatients without having to reccur to anesthesia. This randomized controlled trial aims at demonstrating therapeutic superiority vs. placebo.

La terapia con ondas de choque extracorpóreas (ESWT) es una modalidad de tratamiento bien investigada y utilizada habitualmente para remediar diversos trastornos musculoesqueléticos. La combinación del tratamiento con láser de alta potencia de 905 nm y la ESWT puede aumentar el uso beneficioso de la ESWT en medicina física y de rehabilitación.

Il trattamento della lombalgia aspecifica cronica costituisce una vera e propria sfida. Terapia manuale? Farmaci? E le onde d’urto radiali extracorporee, invece? In un recente studio, Guo e al. hanno provato a determinare se la rESWT (terapia con onde d’urto radiali extracorporee) poteva essere più efficace nel trattamento della lombalgia cronica, di un approccio basato esclusivamente sui farmaci, con somministrazione di un FANS e di un miorilassante. Sono state anche cercate evidenze a sostegno dell’ipotesi, avvalorata da alcuni dati riportati da medici europei e latino-americani, secondo cui la combinazione di rESWT, FANS e miorilassanti può rappresentare un’opzione terapeutica più valida. Quali le conclusioni e con quale possibile impatto sulla vostra pratica clinica quotidiana? Per scoprirlo, continuate a leggere.

Die erfolgreiche Behandlung eines chronischen, unspezifischen Kreuzschmerzes ist eine Herausforderung. Sollen wir manuelle Therapie anwenden? Medikamente? Wie wäre es mit radialen extrakorporalen Stoßwellen? In einer aktuellen Studie versuchten Guo et al. herauszufinden, ob die rESWT bei der Behandlung von chronischen Kreuzschmerzen effizienter ist als ein rein medikamentöser Ansatz, bei dem ein NSAID und ein Skelett Muskelrelaxans eingesetzt werden. Sie suchten auch nach Beweisen, ob eine Kombination von rESWT mit NSAIDs und Muskelrelaxanzien eine überlegene Behandlungsoption darstellen kann. Darauf deuten anekdotische Hinweise von Ärzten aus Europa und Lateinamerika hin. Was war die Schlussfolgerung und wie kann dies auch Ihre tägliche Praxis beeinflussen?

Le succès du traitement de la lombalgie chronique non spécifique est un défi. Quelle thérapie choisir? La thérapie manuelle ? Les médicaments ? Qu'en est-il des ondes de choc extracorporelles radiales, peuvent-elles être considérées ? Dans une étude récente, Guo et coll. ont tenté de savoir si les ondes de choc radiales (rSWT) sont plus efficaces dans la prise en charge de la lombalgie chronique qu'une approche «médicamenteuse uniquement», en utilisant un anti-inflammatoire non stéroïdien (AINS) et un relaxant musculaire squelettique. Ils ont également testé si une combinaison de rESWT avec des AINS et des myorelaxants peut représenter une meilleure option de traitement, comme le montrent les preuves anecdotiques provenant de médecins d'Europe et d'Amérique latine.
