Recruiting studies
- NCT07043335Recruiting
Mesotherapy vs. shock wave for tennis elbow pain
This trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07068399Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy for Heart Blood Flow
This study tests if shock wave therapy can help grow new blood vessels in people with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Researchers will use special heart MRI scans to see if the treatment improves blood flow to your heart.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07119801Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
DenizliAges 35–65 - NCT07167667Recruiting
Hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
IstanbulAges 30–60 - NCT07261995Recruiting
Shock wave vs. laser surgery for kidney stones
This trial compares two procedures to break up a single kidney stone. One uses sound waves from outside the body, the other uses a laser through a small scope. Both aim to help you pass the stone more easily.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT07319988Recruiting
Shock wave therapy and core exercises for back pain
This study tests if shock wave therapy along with core stability exercises can help reduce long-term back pain in female teachers. It may be a good fit if you have had nonspecific back pain for over 3 months and are at a healthy weight.
IsmailiaAges 16–18 - NCT07390396Recruiting
Shock wave therapy plus exercises for shoulder pain
This trial tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard exercises helps people with chronic rotator cuff tendon pain. If you have had shoulder pain for over 3 months due to a confirmed tendon problem, this might be an option for you.
Minya, Menia GovernorateAges 30–55 - NCT07511751Recruiting
Comparing treatments for myofascial pain syndrome
This trial compares three different treatments to find which works best for long-term back pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome, a condition where tight muscle knots cause pain. It is for people who have not found relief with standard treatments.
Adapazarı, SakaryaAges 18–65 - NCT07523074Recruiting
Early vs. delayed shock wave treatment for leftover kidney stones
This trial compares two timing schedules for using shock waves to break up small kidney stones that remain after a surgical procedure. The goal is to find the best time to treat these leftover stones to help them pass naturally and prevent complications.

Shock Wave Therapy for Vulvodynia Pain in Women
This study looks at whether a four-session shock wave therapy treatment helps women with vulvodynia (chronic vulva pain). You're eligible if you've already started this treatment and want to help researchers understand how well it works.
Nantes, NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07563764Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy for Overactive Bladder in Women
This study tests whether low-energy shock wave therapy can reduce frequent urination, nighttime bathroom trips, and sudden urges to urinate in women who also have metabolic syndrome (a combination of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and extra belly fat). The therapy is non-invasive and may offer an alternative to medications or injections.
Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT07564713Recruiting
Shock Wave vs. Laser Therapy for Tennis Elbow
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): extracorporeal shock wave therapy and low-level laser therapy. Both treatments aim to reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic elbow pain caused by overuse.

Comparing two treatments for chronic neck pain
This trial tests whether magnesium sulfate iontophoresis (a method that uses a mild electrical current to deliver medicine through the skin) or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (sound waves applied to the neck) works better for long-term neck pain caused by trigger points in the upper shoulder muscle.
GizaAges 18–40 - NCT07006389Enrolling by invitation
Shock wave therapy for plantar fasciitis follow-up study
This study looks at how well shock wave therapy works for people with plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments. If you've already had shock wave therapy 3 to 6 months ago, your experience could help doctors understand what makes the treatment effective.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07202559Recruiting
Preventing Pancreatitis After Shock Wave Therapy for Pancreatic Stones
This study tests whether a combination of an NSAID (indomethacin) given rectally plus extra fluids through an IV can prevent pancreatitis after shock wave therapy for pancreatic stones. It may help reduce inflammation and protect your pancreas during treatment.
