Aim: The study aimed at the painful trigger points (TrPs) for the purpose of ablating muscle spasms and restoring normal muscle length to find the most effective treatment for alleviating pain and improving mouth range of motion in patients with myofascial pain dysfunction. Methods: We enrolled 72 patients with pain and reduced mouth opening due to temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Patients ...

Microgreens’ popularity is increasing worldwide, and many efforts are focused on novel techniques that could increase fresh production without affecting the quality shelf life of young plants. Three species microgreens (kale, durum wheat, spinach) were cultivated in a greenhouse experiment November–December 2020. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) was applied at three different growth stages (...

Darbeli Elektromanyetik Alan (PEMF) düşük frekanslı elektromanyetik alan olup son yıllarda klinik araştırmalarda tedavi amaçlı uygulanmasına yönelik çalışmalar hız kazanmıştır. Farklı frekans, yoğunluk, dalga boyu ve sürelerde kematerapötik ilaçlarla birlikte uygulanan PEMF maruziyetinin beyin kanseri hücreleri dahil çeşitli kanser hücrelerinde apoptoz üzerine etkilerini değerlendiren çalışmala...

The aim of the present study was to investigate on the effects of a low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (LF-PEMF) in an experimental cell model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) to assess new therapies that counteract neurodegeneration. In recent scientific literature, it is documented that the deep brain stimulation via electromagnetic fields (EMFs) modulates the neurophysiological activity o...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis may present a risk factor in achievement of osseointegration because of its impact on bone remodeling properties of skeletal phsiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate micro-morphological changes in bone around titanium implants exposed to mechanical and electrical-energy in osteoporotic rats. METHODS Fifteen 12-week old sprague-dowley rats were ovariectomize...

Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) are non-ionizing, low-energy, fields, capable of inducing biological effects such as cell migration, proliferation and differentiation, cytokine growth factors expression, NO signaling alteration. In vitro experiments have shown an interaction ELF-EMFs with all the phases wound healing. This in knowledge could be applied clinical practic...

We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) therapy in patients with clinically symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of six weeks' duration. Patients with radiographic evidence and symptoms of OA (incompletely relieved by conventional treatments), according to the criteria of the American...

INTRODUCTION A common drawback of many anticancer therapies is non-specificity in action of killing. We investigated the potential of ultra-low intensity and frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) to kill breast cancer cells. Our criteria to accept this technology as a potentially valid therapeutic approach were: 1) cytotoxicity to breast cancer cells and; 2) that the designed fields p...

Background. Insufficient bone formation is the key reason for imbalance of metabolism and one main mechanisms occurrence deterioration postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), as a physiotherapy, can treat by promoting osteogenic differentiation in osteoblasts. However, little known about its mechanisms. Methods. In viv...

BACKGROUND Limb lengthening with external fixation is performed to treat patients with leg length discrepancy or short stature. Although the procedure has a high rate of success, one potential drawback from limb lengthening is the amount of time spent in the fixation device while regenerate bone consolidates. Although some studies have assessed different treatment modalities, there has not been...
