Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a serious condition with a great impact on the quality of life, and it can lead to some serious long-term consequences such as pancreatic cancer or secondary diabetes mellitus. Associated pancreatic exocrine insufficiency leads to malnutrition with weight loss; however, the main symptom of the disease is abdominal pain, often very severe. The primary treatment option for painful CP is pharmacotherapy (pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, analgesics). If this is not effective, CP can be treated via endoscopy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), their combination, or surgery. We present a case of painful chronic obstructive pancreatitis in a patient successfully treated with ESWL in combination with endoscopy.

Both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) are effective treatment methods for poststroke spasticity (PSS). However, there is no existing study exploring the safety and effectiveness of TMS combined with ESWT for PSS.

Trigger finger (TF), also known as stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, is a common pathology of the fingers causing functional deficit of the hand. In recent years, new therapeutic approaches such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided (USG) procedures have joined the most traditional conservative treatments as the adaptation of daily activities involving the affected hand and the orthosis. Likewise, the ultrasound (US) examination of the affected finger using modern high-frequency probes has progressively become part of the comprehensive assessment of patients with TF coupled with the medical history, the physical examination, and the functional scales.
