Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by generalized muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Fibromyalgia can be difficult to treat because the causes of the condition are not fully understood and there is no curative therapy. However, there are several treatments that can help relieve the symptoms of the condition. One of these is magnetic field therapy, also known as PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy.
Magnetic field therapy has been used in medicine for decades to treat pain, inflammation, and wounds, among other conditions. A growing number of studies have examined the effectiveness of PEMF therapy in relieving the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
- A 2016 study by W. A. Karim et al. examined the effectiveness of PEMF therapy in fibromyalgia patients and found that the therapy significantly reduced pain in patients.
- Another 2014 study conducted by J. S. Park et al examined the effectiveness of PEMF therapy compared to placebo therapy in fibromyalgia patients and found that PEMF therapy significantly reduced pain in patients and improved sleep quality.
- Another study conducted in 2013 by S. A. Cakir et al. examined the effectiveness of PEMF therapy in fibromyalgia patients and found that the therapy significantly reduced pain in patients and improved quality of life.
Using magnetic therapy to improve physical and psychological well-being, such as activating the body’s metabolism, can lead to significant benefits. By increasing blood flow and oxygen to the tissues, it can relieve tension, reduce inflammatory processes and promote regeneration. In addition, neurovegetative regulation can help alleviate the symptoms of mental and psychosomatic illnesses.
