Study of the mechanisms of action of the hypoalgesic effect of pressure under shock waves application: A randomised controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that SW treatment generates a hypoalgesic effect on the application point, with moderate pain. Further studies are necessary in order to link these hypoalgesic changes to the activation of the descending inhibitory systems. PMID: 30670263 [PubMed - in process]
