Summary

Although radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has proven to be an effective treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment has so far been controversial. There are no studies using rESWT in rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, in this study, there is evidence that rESWT promotes pain control and healing recovery, and through previous studies, we would like to investigate whether treatment with rESWT during the intensive rehabilitation period of patients after ARCR is more effective in controlling pain.
