A major complication of stroke is spasticity, marked by increased muscle tone and impaired movement. It affects majority stroke patients and complicates rehabilitation, affecting the upper limb function of survivors.\n\nWhile traditional treatments like oral medications and botulinum toxin injections offer some relief, they have notable limitations, causing the need for novel, non-invasive approaches. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which uses acoustic waves for regeneration and neuromodulation, has shown promise in reducing spasticity with minimal side effects, though its precise mechanisms and ideal protocols need further study. Current evidence supports ESWT's efficacy and safety, often matching established treatments, but gaps remain regarding standardized application and long-term functional outcomes, highlighting the need for more robust research.",[102],"Stroke",[104,105],"upperlimb funciton","extracarporal shockwave therapy","2026-04-06",{"date":108,"type":109},"2026-04-09","ACTUAL",{"date":111,"type":109},"2025-10-30",{"date":113,"type":96},"2026-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
