Authors, title of the study and source:
Pujol J, Pascual-Leone A, Dolz C, Delgrado E, Dolz JL, Aldoma J. The effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation on localized musculoskeletal pain. Neuroreport 1998, 9(8): 1745-8
Number of patients: 30
Disease: Musculoskeletal pain
Treatment:
40 min. one time
Improvement:
MFT group: 59 % decrease in pain intensity, placebo: 14 %.
The improvement usually held on for several days.
Remarks:
Various diagnoses with musculoskeletal pain are included in this study (shoulder capsule injury, tennis elbow, nerve compression, carpal tunnel syndrome, spasms of the back muscles and leg muscles, osteoarthritis of the knee and the ankle joint tendinitis).
** 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.
