Abstract
Background. The paper presents a case of treatment of the de Quervain syndrome with low frequency electromagnetic field (PEMF), following a procedure different from those applied to date. A patient with de Quervain syndrome diagnosed in her left hand, had been treated in the typical fashion for several months (immobilisation, pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, kinesitherapy) without any significant improvement.
Due to the absence of the expected therapeutic effect in terms of manual skills, or abatement of pain, the patient was subjected to PEMF therapy with the use of biofeedback, in order to determine the parameters of the therapy. The therapeutic procedure involved using the ONDAMED device, generating an impulse imitating the functional potential of neural cells with a smooth adjustment of parameters (induction, frequency, time), allowing the use of biofeedback of pulse measured on the radial artery. The diagnostic and therapeutic procedure resulted, after 4 weeks, in an improvement of hand function and cessation of pain. The result of treatment and manner of treatment described in the paper encourage further study into the effect of magnetic impulses of waveforms similar to the functional potential of neural cells and the use of biofeedback in targeted magnetotherapy.
