Authors, title of the study and source:
Pages IH, Hermann H, Conradi E: Magnetic field of chronic degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Z Physiother 1985;37:21-24
Number of patients: 48
Disease:
Epicondylitis
Treatment:
Sinus, max. 240 G, 50/60 Hz., daily 20 min. 5 days
Improvement:
Pain intensity was measured, in the MFT group:
Symptom free 25%, better 58,3%, unchanged 12,5%, worse 4,2%
In the blind placebo treated group:
Symptom free 29,2%, better 12,5%, unchanged 58,3%, worse 0%
Remarks:
In the MFT group thus 83.3 % successful vs. 41.7 % in the placebo group.
Obviously here lies the importance in spontaneous recovery. With MFT, however, this can be increased by 100 %.
** The treatment with pulsating magnetic field seems to be superior because of double blind controlled randomized studies of the Placebo-treatment.
