Effects of focused continuous pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on early tendon-to-bone healing

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy at different frequencies and durations on rotator cuff tendon-to-bone healing in a rat model.

BACKGROUND Rotator cuff tears affect millions of individuals each year, often requiring surgical intervention. However, repair failure remains common. We have previously shown that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy improved tendon-to-bone healing in a rat rotator cuff model. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of both PEMF frequency and exposure time on rotator cu...

Effects of the pulsed electromagnetic field PST® on human tendon stem cells: a controlled laboratory study

BACKGROUND Current clinical procedures for rotator cuff tears need to be improved, as a high rate of failure is still observed. Therefore, new approaches have been attempted to stimulate self-regeneration, including biophysical stimulation modalities, such as low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields, which are alternative and non-invasive methods that seem to produce satisfying therapeutic e...

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in plastic surgery.

Electrotherapy devices, used for decades to reduce pain and swelling following surgery, have undergone significant refinements and have been used successfully in rhytidectomy, liposculpture, laser resurfacing, brow lift, facial fat grafting, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, and breast surgery. The devices are currently available as wearable patches.

Efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in healing of pressure ulcers: A randomized control trial.

BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers are one of the most common complications in health care settings. Still there are no optimal protocols to manage the pressure ulcers. AIM To assess the effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) in healing of pressure ulcers in patients with neurological disorders. DESIGN Randomized double blind control trial. SETTING Neurological rehabilitatio...
