Therapeutic Effects

by Robert B. Goldberg, Ph.D., Editor

Summary

A paper was summarized which described the use of permanent magnets in healing of postoperative wounds following lipectomy. Two papers go into some detail on a hypothesis that E-field induces changes in cell proliferation in an in-vitro skin model only within a specific frequency and amplitude range. A new treatment for acute or chronic ischemia is proposed using regional EMF applications to increase local production of endogenous angiogenesis factors and formation of new blood vessels in ischemic tissue. Results of experimental stimulation are presented; and use of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields have shown a protective effect in tissue undergoing ischemic injury. Three articles are summarized which looked at the contributions of transcranial magnetic stimulation to the field of cognitive neuroscience research. The therapeutic effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for treating mood disorders is discussed. [four pages, 8 references].
