Deciphering the function and mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in knee osteoarthritis (Review).

A recent review published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine examines the therapeutic mechanisms of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in treating knee osteoarthritis at the molecular level. The authors analyze how ESWT influences biological pathways involved in cartilage repair, inflammation reduction, and pain modulation. This mechanistic overview may help clinicians better understand the rationale for incorporating ESWT into knee osteoarthritis management protocols.
