This double-blind, randomized, crossover study examined whether 30 minutes of near-field LTE radiofrequency exposure near the right ear alters resting-state brain activity measured by fMRI. The authors report decreased ALFF in multiple temporal and frontal/paracentral regions after real exposure compared with sham,…

This randomized trial assessed short-term effects of electromagnetic fields from a mobile phone versus a Bluetooth headset on cochlear nerve activity during vestibular neurectomy in 12 patients. Bluetooth headset exposure showed no significant change in CNAP amplitude or latency. Direct mobile phone exposure was…

This multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Japan evaluated lansoprazole 15 mg daily for 4 weeks in functional dyspepsia diagnosed by Rome III criteria. Lansoprazole showed higher overall symptom relief than placebo at week 4 and improved epigastric pain and burning scores. Postprandial…

Jan 1, 2013
This prospective, parallel-group randomized controlled trial tested whether frequent mobile phone messaging could support lifestyle modification to prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk Indian men. The intervention group had a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes than the control group receiving standard advice at…

Jan 1, 2013
This study evaluated a cosmetic radiofrequency device (Accent) for facial wrinkle reduction in 45 women receiving four weekly sessions. Patient satisfaction was higher at 6 months than at 1 month after treatment, and the authors suggest the approach may be effective for facial rejuvenation. The abstract emphasizes…
Are media warnings about the adverse health effects of modern life self-fulfilling? An experimental study on idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF).

This randomized experiment tested whether a TV report warning about WiFi health effects could influence symptoms during a subsequent sham WiFi exposure. Over half of participants reported symptoms attributed to the sham exposure, and the warning film increased EMF-related worries. Among participants with higher…
Pulsed radiofrequency in peripheral posttraumatic neuropathic pain: A double blind sham controlled randomized clinical trial.

Jan 1, 2012
This double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial evaluated pulsed radiofrequency applied to injured peripheral nerves for peripheral posttraumatic neuropathic pain. Among 43 analyzed participants, PRF did not show statistically significant benefit over sham for pain reduction at 3 months, nor for neuropathic pain…
Peripheral pulsed electromagnetic fields may reduce the placebo effect in migraine patients that do not respond to the sham intervention in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over clinical trial.

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 small clinical study evaluated pulsed radiofrequency applied to the cervical dorsal root ganglion in patients with chronic refractory cervical radicular pain. Pain (VAS) and disability (NDI) improved over 3 months, with most patients reporting ≥50% pain relief and satisfaction at follow-up. No adverse effects…

Jan 1, 2009
This randomized controlled trial evaluated low-power, low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy at 600 Hz and 800 Hz as an adjunct treatment for diabetic polyneuropathy. Thirty participants were randomized to 600 Hz PEMF, 800 Hz PEMF, or usual medical treatment for 12 days. The abstract reports…

Jan 1, 2007
This randomized animal study tested whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)-induced vibration affects orthodontic tooth movement produced by magnetic and/or mechanical forces. Forty-four Wistar rats were exposed to PEMF-induced vibration or normal atmosphere while tooth movement was induced using magnets and/or…
