This randomized placebo-controlled study evaluated sequenced, modulated extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields for drug-resistant chronic bacterial cystitis in 148 women. The treated group showed significant between-group differences at 4 weeks in multiple laboratory parameters, with reported sustained…

This paper presents the protocol for the EMAGINE multicenter, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial testing an extremely low-frequency, low-intensity, frequency-tuned electromagnetic field therapy (ENTF) after subacute ischemic stroke. Participants will start active or sham treatment 4–21 days post-stroke,…

This single-site feasibility trial evaluated repeated 90-minute amplitude-modulated EMF exposure (AutEMdev) in 66 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The primary focus was safety and hemodynamic variability during exposure, with exploratory outcomes including quality of life, survival, and tumor…

This prospective comparative study randomized 51 adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain into HILT, pulsed EMF, or control groups for 8 weeks of treatment (twice weekly). Both HILT and EMF groups showed improvements in pain, disability, and lumbar flexion range of motion after the intervention. The study…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether adding a smartphone-based app to routine care improves quality of life in hospitalized patients with heart failure. Over 3 months, the app group reported significantly better quality-of-life scores than the control group on the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure…

This protocol describes a proof-of-concept open-label randomized controlled trial in Western Kenya assessing whether SMS reminders added to standard care improve malaria treatment adherence and day 3 post-treatment review attendance. Caregivers of children under five with uncomplicated malaria will be randomized to…

This pilot randomized study evaluated systemic extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) therapy versus sham in 37 women with fibromyalgia using a crossover sequence. The abstract reports significant short-term reductions in pain and improvements in fibromyalgia-related symptom and function questionnaires…

This double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial evaluated pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy followed by a standardized shoulder strengthening exercise program in adults with shoulder impingement syndrome (N=56). The active PEMF group improved in pain and function from baseline across follow-ups, while…

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 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…

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 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…
