I extracted the gist of the report and highlighted the parts I thought noteworthy. You won't find a more ringing endorsement of PEMF than this. Yet, somehow it took the FDA 10 yrs to figure it all out. The actual scientists knew it in an instant but the 'decision-makers' squashed it knowing their blood money from the sadistic thugs at big pharma would cut them off. These sadistic thugs and their sicko buddys control the media thereby insuring reliable information always seems to get lost, misplaced, or buried. Meanwhile, the slithery serpents w/ forked tongues at the FDA, have approved all these nifty opioids to 'manage your health' whilst we help ourselves to your pocketbook to enhance our wealth, i.e. - our undeserved filthy lucre at your expense.
Information (and ideas), however belated, are still powerful. These filthy liars and the cruelest deceivers who pulled every dirty trick in the book to keep us out of the mainstream are going down. We are coming; we are many and growing. 'woke' is past tense w/ more people WAKING UP, present tense. We are Legion. You ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait for it ...
By Days 7 to 14, 7 (58%) rated their phantom and/or residual limb pain as “very much improved”, and 1 patient (8%) reported “moderate” improvement ... Three patients experienced a complete resolution of phantom limb pain during use. Two patients experienced a complete resolution of residual limb pain during use. ... Of the 8 responders, 5 patients reported, at baseline, nightly awakenings due to pain, and these individuals all had complete resolution of sleep disturbances by the end of the treatment period.
<< The 4 patients who did not respond to the treatment removed their device after 7 to 35 days. >> In contrast, all 8 responders used their device for at least 35 days. Although this specific device is marketed as providing 720 h (30 days) of treatment, patients extended this duration by turning off their units for a few hours each day and/or purchasing additional over-the-counter devices. ... Additionally, 3 patients acknowledged using their device on other parts of their body in which they experienced pain, with resolution of pain at those locations (and no pain increase in the amputated limb during the interim). All responders planned to continue using pulsed shortwave therapy indefinitely.
None of the 12 patients reported an increase in supplemental analgesic requirements over their baseline during the treatment period.
Discussion (( very interesting paragraph ))
The cases of this report suggest that pulsed shortwave therapy may be an effective treatment for intractable postamputation pain. The degree of analgesia provided was unexpected by the healthcare providers as well as the patients. ... However, a strong placebo effect for a majority of the 12 patients seems improbable considering all had experienced 2 to 34 years of intractable postamputation pain and received multiple noninvasive (eg, mirror therapy), pharmacologic (eg, gabapentin), and device-specific (eg, spinal cord stimulator) interventions in the interim, without relief . Indeed, many patients first expressed skepticism owing to the simplicity of a self-administered device and subsequent incredulity that a noninvasive, equivalent over-the-counter product provided effective analgesia when so many other interventions had previously failed.
Although a randomized, masked, sham-controlled trial is required to validate and quantify any analgesic benefits of ... [PEMF] ... characteristics suggest an extraordinary potential to treat pain : it is noninvasive and nonpharmacologic, can be self-applied in less than 1 min with a simple dressing or tape, has a relatively low cost, with over-the-counter devices cleared for use, and has no identified adverse effects and few contraindications. In addition, the currently available devices are lighter and thinner than many surgical bandages, can be applied to nearly any part of the body, function through clothing or bandages, once initiated require no intervention by patient or provider, have a duration of up to 30 days (unlimited duration using serial devices), and have no potential for misuse, dependence, and diversion. Nevertheless, clinical adoption appears to be limited by a lack of widely disseminated systematic evidence ... Over the last quarter-century (25 yrs), pulsed electromagnetic field devices have delivered over 3 million treatments, without reports of adverse effects or significant adverse events.
