This study compares two treatment approaches for scapular dyskinesis (abnormal shoulder blade movement): one group receives shock wave therapy along with standard exercises, while the other group does exercises alone. Researchers want to see if adding shock wave therapy helps improve shoulder blade function and reduces pain.
This trial tests if a special shockwave treatment can soften firm scar tissue that sometimes forms after breast reconstruction surgery. If you've had plastic surgery and have firm, tight areas under your skin, this study might be able to help.
This study tests whether a sound-wave device (shockwave therapy) applied to your belly can help shrink fat and improve body measurements. It is for adults who have stubborn belly fat and are otherwise healthy.
This study compares adding shockwave therapy to standard rehabilitation for treating painful, itchy burn scars that are at least 6 months old. It aims to see if the combination is more cost-effective than rehab alone.
This trial compares two treatments—pulsed high-intensity laser and shockwave therapy—to see which works better for reducing thick burn scars. You may join if you have a hypertrophic scar from a burn and are otherwise healthy.
This trial is testing how a laser treatment affects scar healing after body contouring surgeries like tummy tucks or arm lifts. If you qualify, you'll get the laser after surgery and be followed for a year.
