Abstract
Background. Facial penetrating wound can affect TMj function, even if it didn’t cause a facial bone fracture. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) is a common physical therapy modality that used to speed up musculoskeletal injuries’ recovery. No previous studies described the effect of adding PEMFT to traditional TMj mobilization for the treatment of such cases. Aim. is to investigate the effect of in combination with traditional physical therapy on the pain and mouth opening, after facial penetrating wound injury with no facial fractures, that treated conservatively. Materials and Methods. Thirty-three patients were complaining from TMJ pain and mouth opening limitation after 1 month of facial penetrating wound injury and met the selection criteria were randomized to either study or control group. Control group received TMJ manual physical therapy program (mobilization and gentle isometric exercises). Study group patients received PEMFT in addition to the manual physical therapy program. Treatment was administrated for 12 sessions 3 times per week for both groups. Patients’ pain was assessed using visual analogue scale while mouth opening was measured using digital Vernier caliper, before and after one month of treatment. Results. all 33 patient results were analyzed. After treatment values showed a statistically significant reduction in pain and increase in mouth opening in comparison to pretreatment values at both groups with (P-value < 0.001). Post-treatment between groups comparison showed a significant difference in pain and mouth opening variables (p-value = 0.0001 and 0002 respectively), in favour of group B (Study group). Conclusion. adding PEMFT to TMJ manual physical therapy program, in treatment of patients with TMJ dysfunction (pain and limitation of mouth opening) after facial penetrating wound injury, has a superior effect in comparison to using of manual physical therapy treatment program only.

Mirosław Janiszewski, Anna Błaszczyk – An evaluation of the effectiveness of magnetotherapy as a factor supporting rehabilitation on the basis of selected biomechanic and psychotechnical indices. Fizjoterapia Polska 2001; 1(1); 39-42

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of longterm magnetic field stimulation on the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients and to determine how quickly these patients gain locomotor efficiency. A group of 180 patients 50-70 years old after stroke received rehabilitation and low frequency magnetic field stimulation. As a criterion for evaluation purposes the authors used selected biomechanical and psychotechnical indices. The study shows that magnetotherapy in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation has a positive effect in the improvement of muscle function, motor coordination indices, and some biomechanical parameters (strength under dynamic and static circumstances).

The effects of extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields on the bioelectricial activity of the cerebral hemispheres in young women

Maria B Pecyna

Maria B Pecyna – The effects of extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields on the bioelectricial activity of the cerebral hemispheres in young women. Fizjoterapia Polska 2004; 4(3); 226-236

Abstract

Background. Bioelectrical impulses, also known as brain wave rhythms, have been known for years to correspond with mental activities. Thus an electroencephalogram can produce concrete information regarding both the physiological status (alertness, sleepiness) and emotional status (tension, relaxation) of the subject, since these states are associated with particular bioelectrical patterns. The purpose of our study was to examine the effects on low-frequency magnetic fields on the amplitudes of bioelectrical activity in the cerebral hemispheres, as registered by EEG. Material and methods. EEGs were performed on 92 women, 21-23 years of age, in the Clinical Psychology and Psychophysiology Laboratory at the Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education in Warsaw. The subjects received low-frequency magnetic field stimulation or a placebo while performing cognitive tasks. All the subjects were examined 6 times to determine the behavior of alpha, beta, SMR, theta, and delta waves after magnetic stimulation. The results were recorded on-line from the F3 -C3 (left hemisphere) and F4-C4 (right hemisphere) leads. Results. Statistical analysis shows that low-frequency magnetic fields, regardless of hemisphere, have a positive effect on the amplitudes of the tested brain waves. Conclusions. In comparison to the right hemisphere, the low-frequency magnetic fields generated by the Viofor JPS device much more markedly improve the functionality of the left hemisphere, known as the „logical” hemisphere.

Abstract
Introduction. The aim of the study was to assess the therapeutic effects of low induction magnetic field, R red light and infrared LED light on inflammatory and erosive lesions of skin and glans penis. The subject was a 50-year-old patient with a five-year history of balanoposthitis.Material and methods. The authors followed up and assessed inflammatory and erosive lesions of the skin of the penis and glans penis in a patient with recurring balanoposthitis. The patient underwent two 3-week sessions of treatment by active emission of a low induction magnetic field, red light and infrared LED light, called magnetic field and LED light therapy. The sessions were separated by a one-week break.Results. The evolution of inflammatory and erosive lesions of the penis and glans penis in response to magnetic field and LED light therapy indicates an anti-inflammatory effect of low induction magnetic field and LED light. Satisfactory results were obtained in the form of shallowing or complete closure of the erosions as well as regression of pain and itch.Conclusions. Treatment with low induction magnetic field, red light and infrared LED light, called magnetic field and LED light therapy, may be applied in the treatment of inflammatory and erosive lesions of the penis and glans penis.

Katarzyna Juścińska, Wojciech Garczyński, Ignacy Kłonowski, Tomasz Kowalik, Magdalena Gębska – Changes in mobility of the lumbar spine under the influence of a series of low-frequency magnetotherapy procedures – randomized single-blind study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(3); 64-77

 

Abstract
Introduction. In the literature, we find many works emphasizing the great role of physical therapy in treatment of spinal disorders. Low-frequency magnetic field therapy is mainly used as one of many elements of complex rehabilitation.
Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a series of low-frequency magnetotherapy procedures on the limitation of mobility of the lumbar spine, as well as to determine whether the value of BMI and the age of patients affect the obtained result of the mobility range.
Material and methods. 40 people aged 30 to 71 were examined. The mobility was measured on the first and last day of the therapy using a modified fingertip-to-floor test. It was a randomized, single-blind study. Low-frequency magnetotherapy was applied in group A and simulation of the procedure in group B. Statistical analysis was conducted in the Statistica 12 programme.
Results. Differences in results obtained before and after the series of procedures in particular groups of patients were statistically insignificant (p=NS).
Conclusion. Low-frequency magnetotherapy does not affect the mobility range of the lumbar spine. The value of the body mass index has a slight influence on the range of movements, and also there is no relation between the age of the participants in the study and the range of mobility of a given section of the spine.

The effect of magnetic field on the signal transduction. FP 2014; 14(1); 50-58

Abstract

The therapy using the magnetic field has been known for centuries. Today it is a technique widely used in practice due to low harmfulness, wide applicability and good clinical outcomes with relatively low outlay. The biological effect of the magnetic field is related, inter alia, with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The analgesic activity is primarily based on the endogenous opioid system. The magnetic field regulates opioid analgesic by affecting the calcium channels, and Ca2+ concentration. Furthermore, the magnetic field enhances the immune system affecting the inflammatory reactions. One of the mechanisms of anti-inflammatory effect of magnetotherapy may also be an antioxidant activity. The confirmation of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of the magnetic field are clinical trials conducted in various institutions in the world. Have been documented, among others, studies which used magnetic therapy in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetic neuropathy and fibromyalgia. The aim of this study is to present the current state of knowledge on the mechanisms of action of analgesic and anti-inflammatory magnetic field.
