Abstract

There are cases of development of a convulsive syndrome at influence of electromagnetic field (EMF) in physiotherapy practice, and in conditions of a professional work. There is a point of view that EMF can render medical effect at treatment of a epilepsy syndrome. Some publications specify on develop of epilepsy convulsions in experiment at EMF of various frequencies exposure. Four conditions which can promote development of convulsions at EMF exposure are considered.

Main findings

The paper discusses cases of convulsive syndrome development associated with electromagnetic field exposure in physiotherapy and occupational settings. It notes some views on EMF's medical effects in epilepsy treatment and experimental findings of epilepsy convulsions induced by various EMF frequencies. Four conditions promoting convulsions under EMF exposure are considered.
