A research group at the Research Medical Center of Physical Reflexotherapy, in Moscow, Russia previously demonstrated that low-level millimeter-range electromagnetic radiation was effective in therapy for essential hypertension. The present study was focused on some physiological mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of millimeter waves (MMW). Changes in hemodynamics were studied in 53 patients with stages I and II essential hypertension. In a group of roughly half the patients exposed to MMW, a decrease in minute blood volume, heart index, stroke index, and heart power was seen. In the remaining patients the underlying changes in hemodynamics were exactly the opposite, leading the authors to propose that 2 substantially different physiological mechanisms were at work. Retrospective analysis of the original (pre-treatment) data established that the original alterations of circulation predetermined the mechanism of its recovery: the initial value of peripheral resistance was higher in the second group, while the other indices were originally higher in the first group. The authors speculated that these 2 mechanisms of restoration of hemodynamics are not specific just for MMW therapy, and could be produced by other kinds of therapy as well. [BENER 12451]

I have been diagnosed with chronic headaches and my neurologist has told me that there is a possible treatment by electromagnetic stimulator in which they do brain impulses. I live in Montreal Canada. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank You
