Electromagnetic therapy or electromagnetic field therapy refers to therapy involving the use of magnets or electromagnets.[citation needed]
- Bioelectromagnetics, the study of how electromagnetic fields interact with and influence biological processes.[1]
- Electrotherapy, the use of electrical or electromagnetic energy in medicine;[2]
- Electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine), the use of electromagnetic radiation to treat disease. Evidence of efficacy is lacking.[3]
- Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF, the use of weak electromagnetic fields to initiate osteogenesis.[4]
- Alternating electric field therapy, also known as "Tumor Treating Fields", the use of electric fields as an anti-mitotic therapy for cancer patients.

- Magnet therapy, use of static magnetic fields with the aim of treating disease. Evidence of efficacy is lacking.
