Efficacy of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy in hereditary spastic paraplegia: A case report

This case report provides preliminary evidence that rESWT combined with physical therapy may improve gait disturbances, as well as the ease of walking and ambulatory ability, associated with spasticity in HSP. However, due to the limitations of a single-case study and the potential influence of confounding factors, further research - including randomized, placebo-controlled trials - is necessary to confirm its efficacy and determine optimal treatment parameters.
