This cross-sectional study compared EMF-related health perceptions and symptom attribution among self-identified EMF-sensitive individuals from an internet panel, non-sensitive individuals, and an NGO-recruited IEI-EMF group. The internet-panel sensitive group reported more non-specific symptoms, higher perceived EMF…

This field experiment examined short-term (48-hour) exposure to RF EMF from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone base station on reproductive endpoints in four invertebrate species. The study reports no significant effects of exposure metrics on fecundity or number of offspring, and notes that distance was not a suitable proxy…

This cross-sectional survey study (LEXNET project) examined how subjective exposure knowledge relates to risk perception (RP) for different RF EMF sources. Respondents were more concerned about base stations than other sources. Regression results suggested that most exposure-characteristic features (except distance)…

This conference paper examined whether LTE radiofrequency EMF exposure affects whole-brain EEG functional connectivity. Ten participants completed a crossover, double-blind real versus sham exposure protocol with 30 minutes of exposure per session while 32-channel EEG was recorded. Using synchronization likelihood,…

This animal study evaluated a therapeutic 120 Hz pulsed EMF device (10–20 mT) in C3H mice bearing implanted murine mammary adenocarcinoma tumors. Across seven treated groups, EMF exposure over 12 days was reported to suppress tumor growth, with specific dose/time regimens described as most effective. The authors also…

This cross-sectional survey sampled general practitioners in Germany to assess EMF knowledge and its relationship to concern about EMF health risks. Four latent knowledge groups were identified, with 43.1% giving mainly correct answers and 14.0% answering mostly "don't know". Concern was not related to knowledge…

This paper describes a SAR measurement system for a 3G mobile phone (1718.5 MHz) using brain phantom material in a Perspex box sized to a small rat volume, with induced fields measured at multiple locations. SAR was computed from induced-field measurements and also estimated experimentally via temperature rise, with…

This study compared two non-invasive acupoint stimulation methods—TEAS and PEMF—as alternatives to manual acupuncture for recovery from exercise-induced muscle fatigue. Using 2 Hz stimulation (PEMF magnetic flux 30.92 mT), the authors report faster recovery of EMG median frequency and improved peak torque recovery in…

This case-control study measured electric field intensity and magnetic flux density in high voltage substations and estimated workers' ELF-EMF exposure over a shift. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI in 67 exposed workers and 110 controls. The study reports no statistically significant difference in overall…

This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial evaluated a wrist-applied PEMF bracelet in 18 migraine patients and examined possible modulation of placebo effects. In the overall group, both PEMF and placebo were associated with similar reductions in migraine frequency and intensity. The authors…

This pre/post clinical study evaluated radiofrequency-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty for snoring using polysomnography before and after surgery in 22 patients. The abstract reports a statistically significant postoperative reduction in snoring, with most patients showing decreased snoring index. The work concerns…

This paper describes the design and preliminary implementation of a mobile-phone-based wireless blood pressure monitoring system that transmits data via Bluetooth and computes blood pressure and heart rate on the phone. The authors state that experiments demonstrated the device’s reliability and stability, and that…

This engineering paper proposes a control method for a photo-electromagnetic field (EMF)-based ammonia gas sensor that uses a wireless network and adjusts illumination light intensity. It reports that measurement error is minimized over 3800 ppm ammonia when the concentration corresponds to an optimal illumination…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…
