Magnetic fields have many beneficial effects on human bodies, including pain relief, acceleration of healing processes and inhibition of degenerative processes.
This experiment demonstrated that LF-MFs directly inhibited 293 T, Hepg2 and A549 cells as well as their conditioned medium (CM), suggesting that they may interact with their environment to induce tumor inhibition.
Pain relief
Magnetotherapy utilizes pulsed electromagnetic fields to activate cells and support their natural ability to heal, providing relief from pain, speeding healing time and improving overall body health. Magnetotherapy has also proven successful at relieving fatigue and renewing energy levels – an essential treatment option for conditions such as chronic pain or autoimmune disease.
Magneto-therapy provides cellular repair and growth stimulation, making it an invaluable therapy tool for treating musculoskeletal conditions. Furthermore, it accelerates bone union and relieves edema quickly to speed rehabilitation timeframes while helping avoid post-surgery complications as well as accelerate healing for fractures or sprains.
Electrotherapy has proven itself as a safe, noninvasive form of treatment with no reported side effects. Furthermore, its easy application means it can be applied anywhere on the body for quick relief of numerous conditions or injuries such as fibromyalgia, muscle spasms, back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and more.
Low frequency magnetic field therapy is an innovative therapeutic technique that utilizes the beneficial properties of alternating current and magnetic fields to relieve pain, accelerate healing, stimulate circulation and treat degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis; soft tissue injuries; inflammation/swelling reduction or any combination thereof. It’s recommended for treating osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis; soft tissue injuries as well as those experiencing pain from soft tissue injury and soft tissue injury pain relief. It has even been used successfully in treating degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis/rheumatoid arthritis; soft tissue injuries due to soft tissue injury pain relief; or use to reduce inflammation/swelling/swelling from injury treatment methods alone.
Multiple studies have reported that PEMF therapy helps alleviate pain and disability in those suffering from musculoskeletal diseases, including lumbar spine (LS) pain. Unfortunately, this effect was limited to only a few studies and further confirmation is necessary through larger clinical trials.
One study involved patients suffering from LS pain who received PEMF therapy twice daily for two weeks and reported significant improvements to the Oswestry Disability Index and decrease in pain intensity score that were sustained over follow-up.
Another study demonstrated how oscillating electromagnetic fields stimulate the body’s cellular activity and increase antioxidant enzyme activity. One patient with recurrent GBM who underwent PEMF treatment showed 31% reduction in tumor volume and lower peri-tumoral edema after receiving therapy with PEMFs.
Acceleration of the healing process
Magnetotherapy is a noninvasive, drugless therapeutic treatment which facilitates healing by increasing blood circulation, relieving pain and swelling, speeding bone union, accelerating regeneration of cartilage tendon muscle and ligament regeneration, and speeding bone union. Magnetotherapy has also been shown to hasten healing of chronic joint problems such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis osteoporosis and fibromyalgia while also being effective against acute surgical trauma and post inflammatory reactions that often arise post surgery or trauma.
Magnetic therapy enhances cell repair and reproduction rates by changing their molecular structures. The positive effect on cell membranes results in more oxygen and nutrients entering their target cells while waste products can more readily leave. This allows rebalancing internal functions for improved overall health.
Low frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-MFs) not only stimulate cellular activity but have an immediate effect on cancerous cell metabolism as well as augmenting chemotherapy agent effectiveness by activating enzymes that degrade tumor cell DNA or stop their cell growth, leading to an apoptotic cell death via modulated expression of various proteins. LF-MFs have been found to induce apoptosis of cancerous cells through modulating expression levels of proteins involved.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have been shown to significantly increase quality of life for patients living with recurrent GBM by improving quality of life and alleviating peritumoral edema. Furthermore, PEMFs can prevent new tumours by restricting proliferation of GBM cells.
Exposure to LF-MFs also promotes collagen synthesis, an essential protein essential for tissue regeneration and an essential part of tendons, cartilage and bone. Furthermore, exposure can promote nerve regeneration, reduce post-surgery swelling and pain and increase concentrations of BDNF in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons; its neuroprotective benefits can be attributed to its ability to decrease oxidative stress while altering intracellular calcium levels which prevent microtubule aggregation in mitotic spindles thereby offering neuroprotective benefits against neurodegeneration.
Inhibition of the degenerative process
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most prevalent and malignant brain tumours. Although recent advances in multimodality treatment are making an impactful statement about disease treatment options available to them, long-term survival for this form remains rare and incurable. Magnetic field therapy offers one promising approach to extend OS and improve quality of life for GBM patients; its success hinges on frequency and intensity of electromagnetic fields created by device used.
Pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic fields (PLFMFs) are created using devices with solenoids or radiant circuits to generate an electric current and magnetic field, creating the PLFMF. Depending on the device type used, PLFMF can have either low or high intensity depending on frequency and strength – for instance 18MHz PEMFs typically feature less than 100 Gauss while higher-intensity PEMFs can reach 900MHz with 30mT strength levels.
MFs interact with biological systems in various ways, with bioeffects depending on both the parameters of both cells and MFs. As a result, one single MF may produce conflicting effects on one cell; for instance, low frequency MFs can increase calcium influx into cells while increasing respiration while also inducing cell proliferation or inhibiting apoptosis.
Studies have demonstrated that ELF-MFs can induce neuroplasticity by modulating neurotrophic factor expression and stimulating dendritic spine formation in hippocampus neurons via the ERK/JNK pathway, known to play a significant role in learning and memory formation. Furthermore, exposure to ELF-MFs enhances regeneration in Dugesia dorotocethala planarians – leading researchers to speculate that exposure may help treat GBM by encouraging neuroplasticity while slowing its degeneration.
Another potential mechanism of action of LF-MFs is modulation of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-a, which reduce the ability of our immune systems to respond appropriately when faced with injuries. Furthermore, studies have revealed ELF-MFs’ antioxidative properties can prevent oxidative stress responses by stabilizing energy usage within cells while increasing antioxidant molecules levels in our bodies.
Stimulation of the immune system
Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs) have long been the subject of considerable concern due to their association with various health issues. Recent research indicates, however, that ELF-MF may play a part in stimulating natural healing processes within the body and improving anticancer therapies. While its exact mechanism remains unknown, several mechanisms have been suggested as responsible for its biological effects such as cell differentiation and morphological changes; nevertheless this article presents a brief review of pertinent literature on this subject.
Studies have documented the positive impacts of magnetic field therapy (MFs) on GBM; however, more research needs to be conducted in order to accurately assess its clinical efficacy. Due to many variables involved with experimental conditions and magnetic field parameters, comparing results across studies can be difficult and therefore it’s essential to select suitable GBM patients for therapy with MFs for maximum treatment outcomes.
ELF-MFs not only enhance cell regeneration but can also stimulate production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), an essential factor in the aging process that contributes to neuronal oxidative stress that contributes to neurodegeneration. As ROS signaling pathways may help prevent or treat neurodegenerative disorders such as GBM.
MFs may also help activate specific genes involved in stress response. For instance, exposure to 50Hz MFs with magnetic field intensities of 1mT was shown to increase expression of BDNF mRNA in cultured dorsal root ganglia neurons and increase viability while exposure of hepatocytes to MFs reduced levels of injury markers on their surfaces.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) is an emerging form of magnetotherapy that uses different frequencies to promote natural healing processes within the body and stimulate cell activity, as well as treat various pathologies including musculoskeletal issues like oedemas and fractures. There are two main types of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field devices; solenoids contact solenoid in contact with skin while the second uses body energy to generate magnetic fields which have both been found to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiedema properties – so many benefits await those using them
