Designed electromagnetic pulsed therapy: clinical applications

Abstract First reduced to science by Maxwell in 1865, electromagnetic technology as therapy received little interest from basic scientists or clinicians until the 1980s. It…

Expanding use of pulsed electromagnetic field therapies

* Disclosure: Access to the full article requires payment Abstract Various types of magnetic and electromagnetic fields are now in successful use in modern medicine. Electromagnetic…

Effects of unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex on chronic widespread pain in fibromyalgia

Abstract Non-invasive unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex induces analgesic effects in focal chronic pain syndromes, probably by modifying central pain modulatory systems. Neuroimaging studies…

A randomized, sham-controlled, proof of principle study of transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of pain in fibromyalgia

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Recent evidence suggests that fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by dysfunctional brain activity. Because transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate brain activity…

Electroconvulsive therapy improves severe pain associated with fibromyalgia

Abstract The pathophysiology of fibromyalgia remains unknown. Several reports have recently suggested the novel concept that fibromyalgia is due to the central nervous system becoming…

Slow-frequency rTMS reduces fibromyalgia pain

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Evidence suggests that fibromyalgia (FM) is a centrally mediated pain disorder. Antidepressants, including electroconvulsive therapy, provide some symptomatic relief in FM and other…

Short-term effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields after physical exercise are dependent on autonomic tone before exposure

Abstract The therapeutic application of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) can accelerate healing after bone fractures and also alleviate pain according to several studies. However, no…

The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields in the treatment of cervical osteoarthritis: a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) on pain, range of motion (ROM) and functional status…

Effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in lateral epicondylitis

Abstract We aimed to investigate the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) in lateral epicondylitis comparing the modality with sham PEMF and local steroid injection.…

Electromagnetic interventions in musculoskeletal disorders

Abstract Electromagnetic interventions in general and those considering the musculoskeletal system in particular hold many obscurities. Several studies revealing positive effects of electromagnetic fields oppose…
