@article{Shupak2004HumanET, title={Human exposure to a specific pulsed magnetic field: effects on thermal sensory and pain thresholds}, author={N. Shupak and F. Prato and A. Thomas}, journal={Neuroscience Letters}, year={2004}, volume={363}, pages={157-162} }
Exposure to pulsed magnetic fields (MF) has been shown to have a therapeutic benefit in both animals (e.g. mice, snails) and humans. The current study investigated the potential analgesic benefit of MF exposure on sensory and pain thresholds following experimentally induced warm and hot sensations. Thirty-nine subjects (Study 1) and 31 subjects (Study 2) were randomly and double-blindly assigned to 30 min of MF or sham exposure between two sets of tests of sensory and pain thresholds and… CONTINUE READING
