This animal study evaluated whole-body EMF stimulation in a rat model of complete spinal cord injury. Compared with SCI alone, EMF exposure for 7 or 14 days was reported to improve electrophysiological measures of motor neuron excitability and enhance soleus muscle contractile performance. Histopathology and protein…

This animal study evaluated whole-body extremely low-frequency EMF stimulation after thoracic complete spinal cord injury in adult male rats. The authors report reduced nociceptive behaviors (hyperalgesia/allodynia) from week 6 onward and restoration of spinal reflexes by week 8. They also report lower glutamate at…
