Research #1  PEMF promotes collagen fibre deposition through myofibroblast proliferation in diabetic wound healing

Location in PEMF Global Library: Wound healing folder
Published: October 2015

Applied Frequencies: 25 Hz
Available in: Omnium1, iMRS Prime Trial

Abstract: The present study evaluated the effects of PEMF on collagen fibre deposition, collagen fibril alignment and collagen fibre orientation. The potential relationships between collagen fibre deposition and myofibroblast population in diabetic wound healing were also examined.

Conclusion: PEMF can significantly increase collagen fibre in the early phase of diabetic wound healing, which is associated with the enhancement of myofibroblast population.

Research #2: Chondroprotective Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Human Cartilage Explants

Location in PEMF Global Library: Athletic Performance folder
Published: October 2011

Applied Frequencies: 75 Hz
Available in: iMRS Prime Trial

Abstract: This study investigated the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on proteoglycan (PG) metabolism of human articular cartilage explants from patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

Conclusion: In OA grade I explants, after 7 days exposure, PEMF and IGF-I significantly increased 35S-sulfate incorporation 49% and 53%, respectively, compared to control, and counteracted the inhibitory effect of IL-1b (0.01 ng/ml). The combined exposure to PEMF and IGF-I was additive in all conditions.

Research #3: Alterations of human electroencephalographic activity caused by multiple extremely low frequency magnetic field exposures

Location in PEMF Global Library: Sleep folder
Published: September 2009

Applied Frequencies: 50, 16.66, 13, 10, 8.33 to 4 Hz
Available in: Omnium1, iMRS Prime Trial

Abstract: This study aims at extending our ELF pilot study to investigate whether MF exposures at ELF in series from 50, 16.66, 13, 10, 8.33 to 4 Hz could alter relative power within the corresponding EEG bands.

Conclusion: The final outcome of our result has shown that it is possible to alter the human EEG activity of alpha and beta bands when exposed to MF at frequencies corresponding to those same bands, depending on the order and period of MF conditions. This type of EEG synchronisation of driving alpha and beta EEG by alpha and beta sinusoidal MF stimulation, demonstrated in this study, could possibly be applied as therapeutic treatment(s) of particular neurophysiological abnormalities such as sleep and psychiatric disorders.

Research #4: Exposure to a Specific Pulsed Low-Frequency Magnetic Field: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study of Effects on Pain Ratings in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia Patients

Location in PEMF Global Library: Rheumatoid Arthritis folder
Published: 2006

Applied Frequencies: Less than 3 kHz
Available in: Omnium1, iMRS Prime Trial

Abstract: The effect of specific PEMF exposure on pain and anxiety ratings was investigated in two patient populations.

Conclusion: These findings provide some initial support for the use of PEMF exposure in reducing pain in chronic pain populations and warrants continued investigation into the use of PEMF exposure for short-term pain relief.

Abstract: The present study evaluated the effects of PEMF on collagen fibre deposition, collagen fibril alignment and collagen fibre orientation. The potential relationships between collagen fibre deposition and myofibroblast population in diabetic wound healing were also examined.

Research #6: PEMF: Effective adjuvant therapy in venous and vasculitic leg ulcers

Location in PEMF Global Library: Wound healing folder
Published: 2008

Applied Frequencies: 4 Hz
Available in: Omnium1, iMRS Prime Trial

Abstract: Many modalities have been used for conservative treatment of leg ulcers and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) was used for wound healing as it has a number of well documented physiological effects on cells and tissues.

Conclusion: PEMF therapy improves the rate and degree of healing and reduces pain in resistant venous and vasculitic leg ulcers, this suggests that it could be a useful addition as an effective adjuvant treatment to non-surgical therapy of leg ulcers. There is need for further studies in a larger population to determine the optimal treatment dose, timing and duration of electromagnetic therapy and applicability of using it in resistant ulcers of other aetiologies.
