Effect of extracorporeal shockwave therapy on adhesive capsulitis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review

ConclusionFindings from this review suggested that ESWT combined with shoulder exercises and mobilization may be a useful treatment modality in shoulder AC for type 2  DM patients for pain reduction, disability and ROM improvement. There was insufficient data to confirm the findings of ESWT on blood glucose and inflammatory markers in diabetic patients. Therefore, future studies are needed to evaluate its effectiveness on these outcomes.Trial registration number: #CRD4202127949.
