Description
Seven authors test low energy shockwave therapy for spinal cord injury in rats in this 2024 study. Spinal cord injury causes severe loss of movement, and current options are few, while shockwave therapy is a noninvasive method already used for muscle and nerve problems.
Rats got either one or three sessions of the therapy, and the team measured walking, gait, tissue state, and inflammation. Three sessions did best by a clear margin: movement scores and run patterns improved, tissue regrowth rose, and inflammation markers fell. Effects on two growth factor signals, FGF1 and FGF2, are part of the story the authors tell. Dose matters, the study suggests.
