Research progress of extracorporeal shock wave in osteoarthritis the treatment and its mechanism
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease caused by mechanical injury,inflammation and metabolic disorders.Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a clinical physical therapy that can effectively relieve joint pain and delay the process of joint inflammation.In this study,we collect and sort out the related studies of extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of osteoarthritis from clinical trials and animal models,and then summarize the potential mechanism of extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of damaged cartilage and remodeling subchondral bone.This study provides a basis for further improving the effect of extracorporeal shock wave in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
