Call for Abstracts
Open for Podium or Poster Presentations starting on January 17th, 2025
Choose between podium or poster presentation.
The Scientific Committee may also determine if your abstract meets the academic requirements for a podium or poster presentation. Both categories will participate in a contest, and the winner of the first prize will receive an award and registration for the ISMST 2026 meeting in Madrid.
For any questions with the submission process, please contact us at: abstracts@shockwavetherapy.org

Submission Guidelines
Deadline
Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the online submission system by July 17, 2025. Abstracts submitted via email or after the deadline will not be accepted and, therefore, will not be considered for the program or publication.
Assessment
Abstracts will be evaluated for approval based on subject relevance and scientific merit. Additionally, submission order will be considered. As there is a limited number of presentation slots, early submissions will have priority.
Boundaries
There is no limit to the number of abstracts that a presenting author may submit.
Formats
Authors must select a preferred presentation format during submission from the following options:
- Oral Presentation.
- Poster Presentation.
Topics
Abstracts may be submitted under one of the following topics:
- ESWT Physics & Technology Research.
- ESWT Biological Research.
- Tendon, Muscle, and Ligaments ESWT.
- Bone and Joint ESWT.
- Skin Wounds & Scars ESWT.
- Skin Esthetics ESWT.
- Urology & Sexual Medicine ESWT.
- Cardiology ESWT.
- Neurology ESWT.
- Other ESWT.
Review
The ISMST Scientific Committee will review all abstracts, assessing their scientific quality, formal structure, and relevance. The committee will determine which abstracts are accepted and may adjust the final presentation format. The submission date will also be considered in the evaluation process.
Publication
Accepted abstracts will be published in the congress program and the Abstract Book.
Notification
Presenting authors will receive an acceptance/rejection notification via email by August 17, 2025.
