Extracorporeal shockwaves therapy for finger stenosing tenosynovitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The results of this meta-analysis show that ESWT has a positive effect on symptom improvement in patients with stenosing tenosynovitis, but there is currently a lack of sufficient and high-quality systematic data to support it. In the future, more rigorous and well-designed clinical studies with adequate sample sizes are needed to comprehensively verify the safety and efficacy of ESWT in treating stenotic tenosynovitis.
