Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how long extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) reduces spasticity levels in patients with conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy, using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for measurement.
- They reviewed various databases and found 9 relevant randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of ESWT on spasticity.
- Results indicated significant reductions in MAS scores immediately after treatment and sustained effects for up to 12 weeks, with no notable impact from the number of shocks or application site on the outcomes.
