ABSTRACT

Introduction: Shock wave therapy is acoustic waves present in daily situations. This method is currently used to treat trochanteric bursitis.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of shockwave therapy in the treatment of trochanteric bursitis.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 46 patients diagnosed with trochanteric bursitis. They were treated with Piezolith-3000 equipment (extracorporeal shock waves) at Frank País International Orthopedic Scientific Complex, from March 2014 to April 2018. The analysis of the variables (age, sex, pain and Harris scale) was performed. The absolute and relative frequencies were obtained. Tables and graphs were prepared to summarize the statistical information of the investigation.
Results: There was a predominance of the female sex (86.9%) and the age group of 46-55 years (50%). All patients had pain before receiving shock waves. After treatment this situation was reversed; the pain stopped in 69.5% of the patients. According to Harris scale, 50% of the patients studied had a poor qualitative interpretation (<70 points) before starting treatment; subsequently, only 8.6% remained at that score.
Conclusions: Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, safe and effective technique. It enabled a rapid recovery of patients and their return into daily activities.
