Effects of short-wave therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Wang H, Zhang C, Gao C, Zhu S, Yang L, Wei Q, He C

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of short-wave therapy with sham or no intervention for the management of patients with knee osteoarthritis. We searched the following databases from their inception up to 26 October 2016: MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, CINAHL and OpenGrey. Studies included randomized controlled trials compared...

Effectiveness of Shortwave Diathermy for Subacromial Impingement Syndrome and Value of Night Pain for Patient Selection: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Yilmaz Kaysin M, Akpinar P, Aktas I, Unlü Ozkan F, Silte Karamanlioglu D, Cagliyan Hartevioglu H, Vural N

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of short wave diathermy (SWD) in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. In this double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 57 patients (aged 35-65 yrs) were classified into night pain positive (NP[+]) (n = 28) and night pain negative (NP[-]) (n = 29)...

Effects of capacitive and resistive electric transfer therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial.

Coccetta CA, Sale P, Ferrara PE, Specchia A, Maccauro G, Ferriero G, Ronconi G

Capacitive and resistive electric transfer (CRET), an endogenous diathermy treatment, has been demonstrated to reduce pain and improve quality of life in numerous orthopedic degenerative and inflammatory problems but not in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to evaluate whether a 2-week program of...

PainDiathermyShortwave

A new experimental model of muscle pain in humans based on short-wave diathermy.

Mista CA, Laugero SJ, Adur JF, Andersen OK, Biurrun Manresa JA

Experimental models of pain in humans are crucial for understanding pain mechanisms. The most often used muscle pain models involve the injection of algesic substances, such as hypertonic saline solution or nerve growth factor or the induction of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by an unaccustomed exercise routine. However, these...

Does the Application of Tecar Therapy Affect Temperature and Perfusion of Skin and Muscle Microcirculation? A Pilot Feasibility Study on Healthy Subjects.

Clijsen R, Leoni D, Schneebeli A, Cescon C, Soldini E, Li L, Barbero M

Tecar therapy (TT) is an endogenous thermotherapy used to generate warming up of superficial and deep tissues. TT capability to affect the blood flow is commonly considered to be the primary mechanism to promote tissue healing processes. Despite some preliminary evidence about its clinical efficacy, knowledge on the physiologic responses...

Short-wave diathermy in the clinical management of musculoskeletal disorders: a pilot observational study.

Masiero S, Pignataro A, Piran G, Duso M, Mimche P, Ermani M, Del Felice A

Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common cause of pain and functional limitation in the general population. The study aim was  to evaluate short-wave diathermy (SWD) effects on pain and quality of life in people with musculoskeletal disorders. Eighty participants (31 men, mean age 56 ± 12.49 years) were enrolled, recruiting...

Effectiveness of continuous versus pulsed short-wave diathermy in the management of knee osteoarthritis: A randomized pilot study.

Ozen S, Doganci EB, Ozyuvali A, Yalcin AP

Short-wave diathermy (SWD) is an electrotherapeutic modality used in the conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Electromagnetic radiation delivered in continuous (cSWD) or pulse (pSWD) mode provides a deep heating effect on tissues. There is no consensus on outcomes of treatment with cSWD versus pSWD in KOA. The aim of...
