In the study by Jhan et al. (2022), two approaches were compared in detail: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections and shockwave therapy.
The results showed that shockwave therapy is an effective and excellent therapeutic solution for early knee osteoarthritis, showing even better results than HA injections.
Let's look at the details of this study:
💪 Greater pain relief in the Shockwave group compared to the HA group.
📊 Superior therapeutic effects in functional evaluations (WOMAC, KOOS) in the Shockwave group compared to the HA group.
🦴 Significant increase in bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal tibial area after Shockwave treatment compared to the HA group.
🔬 Shockwaves inhibited the expression of COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein, a marker of cartilage degradation elevated in osteoarthritis and related to disease severity) in patients with knee osteoarthritis, compared to HA injections.
This results in more prolonged relief, positioning shockwave therapy as an ideal alternative for patients seeking sustainable pain management, as well as for orthopedists and sports physicians.
