Spark Wave® Literature 

Clinical Evidence & Peer-Reviewed Publications

MTS Spark Wave Technology has been the subject of numerous extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) studies, published in peer-reviewed medical journals internationally. These publications report on a wide range of therapeutic applications, including regenerative medicine, orthopaedics, urology and dermatology.

This collection comprises:

Clinical trials and multi-centre observational studies

​

Research exploring proposed mechanisms of action

​

Long-term follow-up reports discussing safety and treatment outcomes

​

​Together, these publications reflect the growing scientific evidence for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and provide a resource for clinicians and researchers exploring non-invasive treatment approaches. 

Author
Title
Main Outcome
Notarnicola et al., 2012
The biological effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (eswt) on tendon tissue
ESWT stimulates neovascularization.
Hazan-Molina et al., 2012
Assessment of IL-1b and VEGF concentration in a rat model during orthodontic tooth movement and extracorporeal shock wave therapy
SWT influences inflammatory cytokine levels during orthodontic force application. This may shorten inflammation and accelerate tooth movement.
Ottomann et al., 2012
Prospective Randomized Phase II Trial of Accelerated Reepithelialization of Superficial Second-Degree Burn Wounds Using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
ESWT accelerates wound healing. Less patients develop infections or bacteremia after ESWT.
Mittermayr, 2011
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) Minimizes Ischemic Tissue Necrosis Irrespective of Application Time and Promotes Tissue Revascularization by Stimulating Angiogenesis
Growth factor upregulation as well as enhanced flap perfusion, micro vessel number, and survival could be shown after ESWT.
Wolff et al., 2011
The influence of comorbidities and etiologies on the success of extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic soft tissue wounds: midterm results
No influence of comorbidities and wound etiology on treatment success.
Furia et al, 2010
Shock Wave Therapy Compared with Intramedullary Screw Fixation for Nonunion of Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Metaphyseal-Diaphyseal Fractures
ESWT offers a non-invasive alternative to surgery for non- union fractures, with comparable outcomes and a lower risk for complications.
Ottomann et al., 2010
Prospective Randomized Trial of Accelerated Re-epithelization of Skin Graft Donor Sites Using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Significantly faster reepithelialization after single ESWT application.
Silveira et al., 2010
Effects of unfocused extracorporeal shockwave therapy on healing of wounds of the distal portion of the forelimb in horses
Treated wounds are less likely to be inflamed, compared to the control group.
Larking et al., 2010
Randomized control of extracorporeal shock wave therapy versus placebo for chronic decubitus ulceration
Safe application of ESWT for decubitus ulcers.
Zimpfer et al., 2009
Direct epicardial shockwave therapy improves ventricular function and induces angiogenesis in ischemic heart failure
SWT induces angiogenesis and reverses symptoms of ischemic heart failure.
