Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field on nonspecific low back pain patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Further research on pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) effects on the different conditions of low back pain was warranted due to lack of studies in this area.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with 50Hz frequency, with low intensity of 20Gauss compared to conventional non-invasive treatment modalities in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Methods: Design - A prospective, randomized, patient-blinded, controlled trial.

Safe Cosmetic Leg Lengthening for Short Stature: Long-term Outcomes.

It is well known that limb lengthening is performed to treat limb-length discrepancies resulting from congenital anomalies and developmental problems. However, few studies discuss lengthening for cosmetic purposes. The current authors conducted a prospective study with long-term follow-up.
