This in vitro study exposed glioblastoma (CT2A), neuroblastoma (N2A), and non-tumor astrocyte (C8D1A) cell models to a 100 μT magnetic field across 20–100 Hz for 24–72 hours. The abstract reports decreased viability and proliferation in the tumor cell models within a frequency window centered at 50 Hz, while…

This study evaluated whether adding extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure to a rehabilitation program affects apoptosis-related gene expression in post-stroke patients. Forty-eight patients (3–4 weeks post-incident) were divided into ELF-EMF and non-ELF-EMF groups, with the ELF-EMF group…

This feasibility study tested whether microwave radiation (450 MHz, 40 Hz modulation; 1 g peak spatial average SAR 0.3 W/kg) can induce detectable event-related potentials in EEG. In one subject across four sessions, EEG responses time-locked to exposure offset showed increased alpha-band signal and about a twofold…

Jan 1, 2017
This study assessed whether adding extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure to a 4-week poststroke rehabilitation program affects nitric oxide (NO)-related biomarkers and patient status. Forty-eight poststroke patients were assigned to ELF-EMF versus non-ELF-EMF rehabilitation, with the…

This clinical study evaluated whether adding ELF-EMF exposure to a 4-week rehabilitation program affects antioxidant and clinical status in ischemic stroke patients. Fifty-seven patients were assigned to an ELF-EMF group or a non-ELF-EMF group, with the exposed group receiving 40 Hz, 7 mT for 15 minutes per day over…

This randomized animal experiment exposed 32 young female rats to 1.8 mT sinusoidal alternating electromagnetic fields at 10, 25, or 40 Hz for 90 minutes per day. The 10 Hz and 40 Hz groups had higher BMD and improved femur and lumbar vertebra biomechanical properties compared with controls, and micro-CT suggested…

Jan 1, 2011
This animal study examined whether an extremely low frequency magnetic field (7 mT, 40 Hz) used in magnetotherapy alters oxidative balance in rat brain after 10 days of exposure. The 30 min/day exposure condition was associated with increased lipid peroxidation, while the 60 min/day condition was associated with…

Jan 1, 2009
This animal study exposed Sprague-Dawley rats to a 40 Hz, 7 mT time-variable magnetic field and measured ECG heart rate and plasma antioxidant capacity before and after exposure, including after 14 days. The authors report a significant decrease in heart rate after 14 days. Antioxidant defence findings were mixed,…
