Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation increases the release of dopamine in the mesolimbic and mesostriatal system

Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is suggested to be a potentially useful treatment in major depression. In order to optimize rTMS for therapeutic use,…

A double-blind trial of the clinical effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields in osteoarthritis

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Further evaluation of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), which have been observed to produce numerous biological effects, and have been used to treat delayed…

Effect of low frequency electromagnetic fields on A2A adenosine receptors in human neutrophils

Abstract The present study describes the effect of low frequency, low energy, pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on A2A adenosine receptors in human neutrophils. Saturation experiments…

Transcranial magnetic stimulation as a therapeutic tool in psychiatry: what do we know about the neurobiological mechanisms?

Abstract Potential therapeutic properties of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have been suggested in several psychiatric disorders such as depression, mania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress…

Pulsed electromagnetic fields in knee osteoarthritis: a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial

Abstract OBJECTIVES: This trial aimed to test the effectiveness of a wearable pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) device in the management of pain in knee OA…

Therapeutic application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a review

Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive means of electrically stimulating neurons in the human cerebral cortex, is able to modify neuronal activity locally and…

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for management of osteoarthritis-related pain, stiffness and physical function: clinical experience in the elderly

Abstract BACKGROUND: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy has shown promising therapeutic effectiveness on bone- and cartilage-related pathologies, being also safe for management of knee osteoarthritis.…

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human prefrontal cortex induces dopamine release in the caudate nucleus

Abstract Dopamine is implicated in movement, learning, and motivation, and in illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Little is known about the…

Striatal dopaminergic metabolism is increased by deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in 6-hydroxydopamine lesioned rats

Abstract Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is an established therapeutic strategy for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Although the exact mechanisms of action remain…

Physical mechanisms in neuroelectromagnetic therapies

Abstract Physical parameters that are used to characterize different types of electromagnetic devices used in neurotherapy can include power, frequency, carrier frequency, current, magnetic field…
