lower extremity claudication :: Article Creator Shockwave Therapy Shows Benefit In Lower Limb Claudication Extracorporeal shockwave therapy may be effective for intermittent lower limb claudication in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients unable to engage in supervised exercise or who experienced little benefit from that standard first-line approach, a randomized trial suggested. For the primary endpoint, patients who received nine sessions of the electrical impulses to the gastrocnemius muscle over a 3-week period had significantly greater improvements in physical function versus a sham therapy, as measured by the Physical Functioning domain of the 36-item Short-Form questionnaire (SF-36). At 12 weeks, a 3.8-point (95% CI 0.0-7.7, P=0.03) greater estimated median difference on the 100-point scale emerged for patients assigned to the shockwave therapy, reported researchers led by Paris Cai, MBBCh, BAO, of Hull York Medical School in England. ...
