Summary
This study tested whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from painful bone spurs in people who have had a leg amputated due to trauma. Twenty-nine male amputees received either real ESWT or a sham treatment, plus exercise. Researchers measured pain, function, and bone spur size before treatment and at 4 and 12 weeks after.
