ESWT improved symptoms, reduced calcification, enhanced tissue perfusion, and promoted angiogenesis and BMP7 activity. In particular, it benefited radiolucent type patients with better calcification resorption. Partial resorption led to improvements in transparency, and a second ESWT session at 3 months was recommended for optimal results.
