Augmentation of Rehabilitation after ACL Reconstruction Using Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (rESWT)

Song, Y., Che, X., Wang, Z., Li, M., Zhang, R., Wang, D., & Shi, Q. (2024). Augmentation of rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction using radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT). BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 25(57). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-024-07177-8

 

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes for patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Seventy-two patients were assigned to receive either standard rehabilitation with rESWT or with sham rESWT, measuring outcomes such as pain, joint function, and mobility. Significant short-term improvements were noted in the rESWT group at 3 and 6 weeks, though no long-term differences were observed at 24 weeks. The findings suggest that rESWT may benefit early ACLR rehabilitation by reducing pain and improving function.

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?
