Effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy on medial tibial stress syndrome: a systematic review

Conclusions: Extracorporeal shockwaves reduced pain and time to recovery and increased patient satisfaction. No study reported adverse effects. Based on the limited studies, ESWT may reduce pain and shorten recovery duration in MTSS. Further randomized clinical trials with sham control may substantiate these findings in other patient populations. Level of Evidence: Level II.
