One of the 2 tests with positive results (calcific tendonitis) was
contradicted by one of the excluded tests. This excluded study was not
included in the review because it did not have a placebo group, only
experimental and control groups. The lit review states there was no
difference between US and control group results in this excluded review.
The only study supporting US according to the review's criteria, was the
carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. However, it is also noted that there is a
high incidence of relapse, and the a neurologist warned US directly over an
inflammed median nerve could damage it further.
