Shockwave, often referred to as extracorporeal shockwave, can be used in the treatment of gout, especially in the acute exacerbation of gout where inflammation of the joints is present, although it is often used in conjunction with a basic treatment program to achieve better results. Extracorporeal shock waves are mechanical waves with acoustic, optical and electrical properties that are transmitted to the tissues and activate metabolic reactions, accelerating blood circulation to the affected area and helping to heal soft tissues during the treatment process. Extracorporeal shock waves have a good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on joint inflammation during acute attacks of gout. If the treatment can be combined with extracorporeal shockwave on the basis of the basic treatment program, the joint inflammation of gout can be better improved in order to exert the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It is recommended that gout patients seek medical treatment in time and standardize the diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition.
