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.
متن کاملEvidence-based use of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in clinical plastic surgery.
BACKGROUND The initial development of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and its evolution over the last century for use in clinical surgery has been slow, primarily because of lack of scientifically-derived, evidence-based knowledge of the mechanism of action. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to review the major scientific breakthroughs and current understanding of the mechanism of actio...
متن کاملExpanding use of pulsed electromagnetic field therapies.
Various types of magnetic and electromagnetic fields are now in successful use in modern medicine. Electromagnetic therapy carries the promise to heal numerous health problems, even where conventional medicine has failed. Today, magnetotherapy provides a non invasive, safe, and easy method to directly treat the site of injury, the source of pain and inflammation, and a variety of diseases and p...
متن کاملAn open-label pilot study of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome pain
Persistent pain following back surgery remains a major treatment challenge. The primary objective of this open-label exploratory study was to investigate the analgesic effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy administered twice daily over a 45-day period in 34 subjects (68% female) with persistent or recurrent pain following back surgery. A secondary goal was to guide the design of...
متن کاملDesigned electromagnetic pulsed therapy: clinical applications.
First reduced to science by Maxwell in 1865, electromagnetic technology as therapy received little interest from basic scientists or clinicians until the 1980s. It now promises applications that include mitigation of inflammation (electrochemistry) and stimulation of classes of genes following onset of illness and injury (electrogenomics). The use of electromagnetism to stop inflammation and re...
