Abstract

A review was performed utilizing PubMed and GoogleScholar to highlight the future directions of EMF research in the setting of brain pathology, specifically in ischemic and traumatic brain injury. Additionally, a critical review of the current state-of-the art of EMF use in treating brain pathology has been conducted. The authors have added to this large body of research their own experimental studies, including a description of the on-going studies. The field of EMF utilization in the diagnosis and treatment of brain injury is highly promising and warrant careful studies in clinically relevant experimental models followed by human trials in TBI.

Main findings

The article reports a literature review (PubMed and Google Scholar) on EMF research and use in diagnosis and treatment of brain pathology, focusing on ischemic injury and traumatic brain injury. It concludes the field is promising and calls for careful studies in clinically relevant experimental models followed by human trials in TBI.

Outcomes measured

  • immunomodulatory effects
  • treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • treatment of ischemic brain injury
  • diagnosis of brain injury

Limitations

  • Narrative/critical review; specific EMF exposure parameters (frequency, intensity/SAR, duration) are not provided in the abstract.
  • No specific study results or quantitative effect estimates are reported in the abstract.
  • Includes authors' own experimental/ongoing studies, but details and outcomes are not described in the abstract.
