Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Diabetes Related Frozen Shoulder

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a treatment method for the application of single-pulse acoustic pressure waves generated by sudden changes in pressure by creating shock waves with piezoelectric, electrohydraulic and electromagnetic systems. It has been reported that ESWT treatment is effective in the treatment of pain with hyperstimulation analgesia by inhibiting afferent pain receptors, and also improve angiogenesis and restore and reorganize the musculoskeletal system

In the placebo application, rESWT device was switched on but without pressing the pedal during the same session period. The applicator was positioned to be the same as the other groups.
