Prospective long-term follow-up of patients with idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields after a provocation trial

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This long-term follow-up recruited participants from an earlier IEI-EMF provocation trial and re-administered the same questionnaire by telephone. Of 70 completers (35 IEI-EMF patients and 35 referents), 62.9% of patients reported recovery after an average of 1.8 years, with most recoveries described as spontaneous. Symptoms and EMF-related concerns generally decreased over time, and the authors suggest IEI-EMF may often be self-limited and consistent with nocebo mechanisms rather than direct EMF effects.
