Wheeler PC, Dudson C, Calver R, Goodall D, Gregory KM, Singh H, Boyd KT. Three Sessions of Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Gives No Additional Benefit Over "Minimal-Dose" Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Patients With Chronic Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Trial. Clin J Sport Med. 2022 Jan 1;32(1):e7-e18.
Double-blinded randomised controlled trial. 120 subjects who had no improvement with 3m standard rehab. Subjects were randomised to 2 groups who received RSW treatment with Chattanooga Intelect RPW • Group 1. 3 sessions 2000 shocks 2.3-3.3 bar (max tolerable) • Group 2. 3 sessions 500 shocks 1.4 bar Results Both groups showed significant improvements in hip pain and function scores with no significant difference between the groups.
Key message 500 pulses @ 1.4 bar ("minimal dose") RSW treatment provided significant improvement of pain and PROM in GTPS. More shocks and higher pressure did not provide additional benefit.
