* O. Vassilenko, N.F. Vassilenko: 'Use of Extremely High Frequency
Electromagnetic
Radiation for Treating Peripheral Neuritis,' Second World
Congress fro
Electricity and Magnetism in Biology and Medicine, 8-13 June
1997, Bologna,
Italy. - Patients suffering from peripheral neuritis received
electromagnetic
therapy on acupuncture points. In 87% of the case, this
treatment yielded
a complete recovery of the patients.
* Ito, C.A. Bassett: 'Effect of Weak, Pulsing Electromagnetic
Fields
on Neural Regeneration in the Rat, 'Clin Orthop (181), December
1983,
pp. 283-290. This controlled study demonstrates that the rate
and extent
of regeneration of the peripheral nerves is greatly improved by
using
pulsating electromagnetic fields.
* F.M. Longo et al.: 'PEMF Influences NGF Activity and Levels
Following
Sciatic Nerve Transection,' Journal of Neuroscience Research,
55, pp.
230-237, 1999. -The nerve growth factor (NGF) is stimulated by
PEMF.
* C.A Bassett: 'Beneficial Effects of Electro Magnetic Fields,'
Journal
of Cell Biochem, 51 (4), April 1993. -Bassett describes the
clinical
benefits of PEMF in various diseases and emphasizes the positive
effect
on nerve regeneration in particular.
* Ito, C.A Bassett: 'Effect of Weak, Pulsing Electromagnetic
Fields
on Neural Regeneration in the Rat,' Clin ORthop (181), December
1983,
pp. 283-290. - This controlled study re****ts on the use of
pulsating
electro magnetic fields in the treatment of peripheral nerve
injuries
and shows that PEMF has proven to be a suitable means of
sup****tive
therapy.
