Summary

This study tested if sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from bone spurs in people who lost a leg due to trauma. 29 male amputees received either real or fake shockwave therapy plus exercise. Researchers measured pain, function, and spur size before, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks after treatment.
