Authors, title of the study and source:
Pages IH, Hermann H, Conradi E: Magnetic field therapy of chronic degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Z Physiother 1985;37:21-24
Number of patients: 60
Disease: Gonarthrosis
Treatment:
Sinus, max. 240 G, 50/60 Hz., daily 20 min. 5 days
Improvement:
Pain intensity was measured. In the MFT group
Free of pain 66,7%, better 33,3%, unchanged 0%, worse 0 %
In the blind placebo treated group:
Free of pain 23,3%, better 6,7%, unchanged 63,3%, worse 6,7%
Remarks:
In the MFT group thus 100 % successful vs. 30 % in the placebo group.
** The treatment with pulsating magnetic field seems to be superior because of double blind controlled randomized studies of the Placebo-treatment.
* The treatment with pulsating magnetic field seems to be superior because of the controlled studies of the control-treatment.
