Conclusion
Both NSAID therapy and neuromodulation therapy using PSWT resulted in statistically and clinically important reductions in pain level and improvement in functionality associated with cervical osteoarthritis, when used for 4 weeks. However, the PSWT intervention demonstrated superior improvements in all outcome measures when compared to the etoricoxib therapy arm, including patient satisfaction rating and decreased use of rescue pain medication. These results suggest that neuromodulation using PSWT may be a superior pain treatment option, when compared to COX-2 NSAIDS for neck osteoarthritis, and as well, represents a non-invasive, non-pharmacologic treatment option.
