This in vitro study exposed DU-145 prostate cancer cells to extremely low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF P-EMF) at different intensities and times. The authors report increased cell mortality and apoptosis with higher intensity (22.6–35 mT) and longer exposure. They also report gene-expression changes…

This in vitro study exposed dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells to 50 Hz pulsed electromagnetic fields at 0.5 or 1 mT for 20 or 40 minutes per day over seven days. Cell survival/proliferation was generally higher than control across exposure groups, except for the 40 minutes/day at 1 mT condition. DMP1 expression was…

This in vitro study compared continuous versus intermittent 16 Hz ELF-PEMF exposure strategies in osteoprogenitor (SCP-1) cells. Intermittent exposure (10 min every 8 h) was reported to enhance cell numbers and osteogenic function relative to continuous daily exposure (30 min every 24 h). The authors report increased…

This in vitro study tested how varying ELF-EMF parameters (frequency, flux density, duration, and continuous vs switching exposure) affect breast cancer and normal breast epithelial cell lines. The authors report that an optimized switching exposure pattern (7.83 ± 0.3 Hz, 1 mT) reduced viability of MDA-MB-231 cells…

This in vitro study exposed human dermal papilla cells to 70 Hz extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at 5–100 G for four days. The abstract reports increased expression of several anagen-related molecules and increased proliferation, with 10 G described as the most potent condition. It also reports…

This in vitro study evaluated whether extremely low-frequency EMF exposure (100 Hz, 100 G) modifies the effects of temozolomide (100 µM) in human glioblastoma U87 cells over 120–144 hours. The authors report that combined treatment reduced stemness-associated markers (Nestin, CD133, Notch4) and increased GFAP…

This in vitro study compared commonly used pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) exposures with electromagnetic fields tuned to satisfy the ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) condition for calcium. After 3 weeks, the calcium ICR condition was associated with increased glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen synthesis and…

This in vitro study exposed rat adipose-derived stem cells to a pulsed electromagnetic field (7 Hz, 30 mT) and assessed viability by flow cytometry. The authors report that a low-fat diet was protective in PEMF-exposed ADSCs, especially in pups. They also report a higher proportion of early apoptotic cells in…

This in vitro study exposed rat calvarial osteoblasts to 50 Hz, 0.6 mT pulsed electromagnetic fields for 1.5 hours and measured early differentiation-related markers over 0–12 hours. The abstract reports increased ALP activity at 3 hours and time-dependent changes in ALP, Runx2, and OSX transcription and Runx2/OSX…

This animal study evaluated whether daily pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatments improve delayed fracture healing in skeletally mature ovariectomized (OVX) rats. By 6 weeks, PEMF-treated rats showed improved hard callus elastic modulus and radiographic evidence of better callus bridging compared with sham…

This open case study assessed transcranially applied pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) as a potential therapy for multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) in three patients. Two of three patients reported considerable improvements in MCS-related symptoms/functional impairments and reduced capsaicin-induced secondary…

This preliminary prospective clinical trial compared pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (PEMF) and low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) as adjuncts to mandibular fracture repair assessed by clinical union and radiodensitometric bone density. Clinical outcomes (segment stability and occlusion) were…

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 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 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…
