16Comparative Treatments

i Description/ name of comparative treatments

1 Patients will receive increasing power of SWs from 25% to 80% within 20 shocks. This is the standard SWL treatment protocol in our centre.
2 Patients will receive the first 100 shocks at 40% power and then followed by SWs at 80% power until the end of whole treatment.
3 Patients will receive the first 500 shocks at 40% power and then followed by SWs at 80% power until the end of whole treatment.
4 Patients will receive 500 shocks at 40% power, followed by a 3-minute pause and then further SWs at 80% power until the end of whole treatment.
5 Patients will receive 500 shocks at 80% power, followed by a 3-minute pause and then further SWs at 80% power until the end of whole treatment.
