PEMF Research Articles, Studies and Trials
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…
Alternative, complementary, energy-based medicine for spinal cord injury
Abstract This paper provides an overview on various alternative, complementary, or energy-based therapies that expand the healing spectrum of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).…
Pulsing electromagnetic field treatment in ununited fractures and failed arthrodeses
Abstract Pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) induce weak electric currents in bone by external coils on casts or skin. This surgically noninvasive, outpatient method, approved by…
Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on postoperative pain: a double-blind randomized pilot study in breast augmentation patients
Abstract BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain may be experienced after breast augmentation surgery despite advances in surgical techniques which minimize trauma. The use of pharmacologic analgesics and…
Randomized, prospective, and controlled clinical trial of pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation for cervical fusion
Abstract BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Multilevel fusions, the use of allograft bone, and smoking have been associated with an increased risk of nonunion after anterior cervical discectomy…
