Veterinary Medicine and Science
Results
Forty-nine animals completed the study. No negative side effects were reported. Average subjective discomfort scores for the treatment group (N = 26) were reduced from 3.74 to 2.10 (44%), compared to no improvement in the placebo group (N = 23) over the study period (p = 0.0001). Average PROM scores increased by 5.51 (4.59–6.23) degrees relative to the placebo group (p < 0.01). Ninety-six per cent of the treatment group showed either increased PROM or improved behavioural changes or both , compared to 4% for the placebo group (p < 0.01). Most changes occurred within the first 8 days of treatment.
The PSWT device used in this study was the model 088 medical device manufactured by BioElectronics Corporation, an over-the-counter product cleared by the US FDA for human use (Figure 1). This device uses a 5.5 cm flexible loop antenna (magnetic dipole). The device produces a pulsed, radio frequency magnetic field at 27.1 MHz, with a pulse width of 100 ms and a pulse repetition frequency of 1 kHz.
