Clinical utility of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in restoring hand function of patients with nerve injury and hypertrophic scars due to burns: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study.
Int J Surg
December 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, College of Medicine, Hallym University, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Joint contractures and nerve injuries are common after hand burns. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is effective not only for the regeneration of various tissues, including scar tissues, but also for reducing pain and pruritus in patients with burns. Researchers have attempted to explore the effects of ESWT on hand dysfunction caused by nerve injury following burns.

Purpose: The optimal management of degenerative meniscal tears remains controversial. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been shown to promote tissue repair in both preclinical and clinical studies; however, its effect on degenerative meniscal tears remains unknown. This study aimed to examine whether ESWT improves meniscal degeneration.

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control
May 2024
Pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound (pHIFU) can induce sparse de novo inertial cavitation without the introduction of exogenous contrast agents, promoting mild mechanical disruption in targeted tissue. Because the bubbles are small and rapidly dissolve after each HIFU pulse, mapping transient bubbles and obtaining real-time quantitative metrics correlated with tissue damage are challenging. Prior work introduced Bubble Doppler, an ultrafast power Doppler imaging method as a sensitive means to map cavitation bubbles.

JAMA Surg
June 2024
Academic Vascular Surgery Unit, Hull York Medical School, Hull, United Kingdom.
Importance: Intermittent lower limb claudication limits function and quality of life. Supervised exercise programs are not readily available, and a noninvasive alternative is needed.
Objective: To assess extracorporeal corporeal shockwave therapy in improving quality of life in patients with claudication.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound, defined as mechanical vibrations over 20 kHz, has gained interest in neuroscience for its precision and ability to regulate neural activity, though its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
- The article discusses various effects of ultrasound on the nervous system, including mechanical, cavitation, and thermal influences, and introduces concepts like sonogenetics, while critiquing traditional views of nerve impulses as solely electrical signals.
- It suggests that action potentials may behave like mechanical waves due to phenomena like cell membrane flexoelectric effects, and also highlights ultrasound's potential therapeutic applications in treating neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases.
