PEMF Research Articles, Studies and Trials
Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on rat skin metabolism
Abstract In an attempt to approach the mechanism of action of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on biological systems, the effects on protein synthesizing activity and…
Effects of pulsed extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields on skin wounds in the rat
Abstract Rats with skin-wounds surgically created on their backs were exposed immediately after surgery and every 12 h thereafter to pulsed, extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields. The…
Pulsed electromagnetic field and exercises in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and exercises in reducing pain and improving function and muscle strength in patients with…
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…
