Stimulation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by electromagnetic transduction therapy - EMTT.

Many different pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devises have been clinically used to stimulate healing processes, but many procedures are still without supporting basic research data. The aim of this study was to investigate a new modified pulsed electromagnetic field therapy: electromagnetic transduction therapy (EMTT). EMTT is technically based on high-intensive PEMFs with a magnetic field strength between 80 and 150 mT.

Electromagnetic transduction therapy in non-specific low back pain: A prospective randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: A prospective randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of electromagnetic transduction therapy (EMTT) for treatment of patients with non-specific low back pain.

Design: Two groups with non-specific low back pain were either treated with conventional therapy alone over 6 weeks or in combination with 8 sessions of EMTT.

Results: In both intervention groups the low back pain related pain and the degree of disability decreased significantly at follow-up visits.
