Transcranial low‐frequency pulsating electromagnetic fields (T‐PEMF) as post‐concussion syndrome treatment

Expanding the electrotherapeutic toolkit: a perspective on transcranial pulsating electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF).

The multifocal application of transcranial lowvoltage pulsed electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF) has been shown to have an antidepressant effect in patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression (1). This proof-of-principle study had a sham-controlled, double blind study design in which sham (n = 25) or active (n = 25) T-PEMF treatment was self-administered by the patients on all weekdays f...

Psychological approaches to treatment of postconcussion syndrome: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Postconcussion syndrome (PCS) is a term used to describe the complex, and controversial, constellation of physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with mild brain injury. At the current time, there is a lack of clear, evidence-based treatment strategies. In this systematic review, the authors aimed to evaluate the potential efficacy of cognitive behavioural thera...

Dose-remission of pulsating electromagnetic fields as augmentation in therapy-resistant depression: a randomized, double-blind controlled study.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate to what extent a twice daily dose of Transcranial Pulsating ElectroMagnetic Fields (T-PEMF) was superior to once daily in patients with treatment-resistant depression as to obtaining symptom remission after 8 weeks of augmentation therapy. METHODS A self-treatment set-up of the T-PEMF device was used allowing self-administration by patients in own homes. All patients wer...

The effects of electromagnetic fields on fish

The objective of this paper is to survey the results of studies on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on fish. First, the basic concepts of electromagnetism and electromagnetic spectrum and the importance of studying it in the case of fish are discussed. Then a summary of the results obtained on the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) and radiofreq...
