The Effects of Exposure to Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Treatment of Migraine Headache: A Cohort Study.
This cohort study followed 114 migraine patients and assessed self-reported use of mobile phones, Wi-Fi devices, and fixed-line telephones as RF-EMF sources. Over a 3-month period, migraine frequency and severity were reported as significantly correlated with higher mobile phone and Wi-Fi use, while fixed-line telephone use was not. The authors recommend limiting mobile phone use and using fixed-line telephones instead.
