First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can safely reduce muscle stiffness and spasms in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Five participants received either ESWT or a sham treatment. The goal was to gather data for a larger trial. The study focused on easing symptoms, not curing the underlying condition.
