This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for upper extremity pain related to spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury.
6 times of ESWT (3,000 pulses per time, low energy under 0.3 mJ/m^2, tolerable range) on forearm area to reduce pain related to spasticity in patients with cervical myelopathy
