PEMF may improve fatigue associated with multiple sclerosis
Abstract Fatigue is the most common symptom of multiple sclerosis. 75%-90% of patients with multiple sclerosis report having fatigue, and 50%-60% describe it as the…
Applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation in movement disorders
Abstract The author reviews the applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a series of movement disorders–namely, Parkinson’s disease, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, progressive…
Exposure to oscillating magnetic fields influences sensitivity to electrical stimuli. II. Experiments on humans
Abstract To assess the effect of a magnetic treatment on pain perception, we compared the sensory threshold in 18 healthy volunteers. We determined the threshold…
Impulse magnetic-field therapy for migraine and other headaches: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Abstract This double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of 4 weeks of impulse magnetic-field therapy (16 Hz, 5 microTs), delivered through a small device, for…
Protection against focal cerebral ischemia following exposure to a pulsed electromagnetic field
Abstract There is evidence that electromagnetic stimulation may accelerate the healing of tissue damage following ischemia. We undertook this study to investigate the effects of…
Treatment of migraine with pulsing electromagnetic fields: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Abstract The effect of exposure to pulsing electromagnetic fields on migraine activity was evaluated by having 42 subjects (34 women and 8 men), who met…
Initial exploration of pulsing electromagnetic fields for treatment of migraine
Abstract Two studies were conducted during which 23 patients with chronic migraine were exposed to pulsing electromagnetic fields over the inner thigh. In an open…
Electromagnetic stimulation as a treatment of tinnitus: a pilot study
Abstract This paper reports the results of a study to determine whether pulsed electromagnetic stimulation, applied over the mastoid bone, caused an improvement in the…
The biological effects of magnetic stimulation in epileptic patients
Abstract BACKGROUND: The magnetoencephalogram (MEG) is the magnetic activity emitted by the brain, which can be measured using a superconductive quantum interference device (SQUID). This…
Melatonin reduces oxidant damage and promotes mitochondrial respiration: implications for aging
Abstract Melatonin has a number of properties as a consequence of which it could be beneficial to animals as they age. Of particular interest are…
