This study is a prospective cohort study and is a single-center clinical trial. Sample: This study will enroll about 22 patients from the Department of Sports Medicine and rehabilitation outpatient department of Beijing Third Hospital who are diagnosed with rotator cuff tear and choose conservative treatment.
A single-center randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the effect of ESWT combined with conventional rehabilitation training on patients with rotator cuff tear. To explore the effect of ESWT on the clinical efficacy of patients with rotator cuff tear, and to explore the application of shockwave technology in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tear. It provides a new treatment idea for patients with rotator cuff tear who choose conservative treatment, promotes tendon healing for patients with partial rotator cuff tear, improves shoulder joint function, and provides a new treatment plan for patients to accelerate their return to life and exercise, and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of ESWT.

RECRUITINGpain VAS score
pain levels in patients, ranging from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating more intense pain.
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
ASES score
The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score is the most commonly used score to describe the function of patients' shoulder joints, ranging from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the function of patients' shoulder joints.
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
MRI evaluation
Through MRI qualitative and quantitative analysis, evaluate the tendon healing status after rotator cuff repair surgery.
Time frame: 3 months and 6 month after surgery
UCLA score
The UCLA Shoulder Score combines input from both the physician and the patient and totals range from 0 to 35, 0s indicating worse shoulder function and 35s indicating better shoulder function outcomes.
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery
Active shoulder ranges of motion
internal rotation at the side, and external and internal rotation at 90° of abduction
Time frame: 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
