4.2. Type of PEMF Device
The diversity in PEMF devices utilized, including those from the Bioelectronics Corporation and the Better Health Corporation, highlights technological variability, prompting further investigation into the optimal characteristics of PEMF devices for specific osteoarthritic conditions. These studies thoroughly explored the use of different PEMF devices currently available in commerce, juxtaposing them with older models that are no longer in use. The technological differences among various PEMF devices play a pivotal role in influencing the therapy’s efficacy. Each device, characterized by unique features such as the frequency and intensity of the magnetic field, contributes to the overall variability in treatment outcomes [Table 2]. The results emphasize that high-frequency PEMFs may have a greater impact on inflammation, blood circulation, and muscle tone, making them more suitable for osteoarthritis treatment. Taking a detailed approach to understanding this technological variability could potentially aid in the development of more precise and customized guidelines for the clinical application of PEMF therapy. Consequently, this has the potential to significantly improve the effectiveness and relevance of this innovative form of treatment for patients dealing with osteoarthritis.
5. Conclusions
The variable duration of PEMF therapy, coupled with consistent and diverse outcomes, highlights its potential as a comprehensive approach for managing osteoarthritis, addressing pain and broader aspects of patient well-being and disease progression. The aggregated analysis emphasizes the dynamic nature of research on PEMF therapy in osteoarthritis, considering patient demographics, anatomical areas and the technological nuances of employed PEMF devices. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of these innovative treatments on osteoarthritis and, given the highly encouraging results we have highlighted, this comprehensive understanding sets the stage for future research directions and potential advancements in optimizing PEMF therapies for various osteoarthritic manifestations.
