In vitro functional response of human tendon cells to different dosages of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field

Abstract PURPOSE: Chronic tendinopathy is a degenerative process causing pain and disability. Current treatments include biophysical therapies, such as pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). The aim…

Comparison of Shoulder Management Strategies after Stage I of Fingertip Skin Defect Repair with a Random-Pattern Abdominal Skin Flap

Abstract BACKGROUND: In the absence of scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of shoulder management strategies after stage I of fingertip reconstruction, the purpose of this…

Attenuation of interleukin-1beta by pulsed electromagnetic fields after traumatic brain injury

Abstract Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in civilian and military populations. Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with…

Biophysical stimulation and the periprosthetic bone: is there a rationale in the use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields after a hip or knee implant?

Abstract The biophysical stimulation of bone and cartilage, using Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields (PEMF), covers many different aspects of bone formation and/or cartilage repair, such as…

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) effects on testosterone, prolactin, and corticosterone in adult male rats

Abstract BACKGROUND: Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a relatively new technique for inducing small, localized, and reversible changes in living brain tissue. Although transcranial magnetic stimulation…

The impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on pituitary hormone levels and cortisol in healthy subjects

Abstract BACKGROUND: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a new therapeutic tool in the treatment of affective disorders but only few studies on its safety…

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…

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in major depression: relation between efficacy and stimulation intensity

Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been found to exert modest to substantial antidepressant effects in the majority of prior clinical studies. As effect…

Combining high and low frequencies in rTMS antidepressive treatment: preliminary results

Abstract The antidepressive potency of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) seems to depend on variables such as the stimulation placements, different frequencies, stimulus intensities, coil…

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment of comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression

Abstract Twelve patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression underwent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to left frontal cortex as an open-label…
