Abstract
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been widely used in many clinical disciplines. Because the clinical applications of ESWT are not standardized, the key treatment technologies not consistent, the treatment scheme not unified as well as the training system not perfect, the further promotion and application of ESWT are restrict. This consensus covers the basic theories, knowledge and skills of ESWT, and systematically introduces the applications of ESWT in the treatment of common chronic pain and non-pain diseases, especially the combination of ESWT with other therapies, as well as the certification training of ESWT, to provide a guidance for the standardized promotion and application of ESWT.
Key words:
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy; Pain; Expert consensus
