Electromagnetic therapy or electromagnetic field therapy is therapy involving the use of electromagnetic radiation to alter neuronal activity.[1] This subfield of neurotherapy uses medical devices, such as magnets or electromagnets to treat mental and physical health disorders in patients.[1]
Types include :
- Bioelectromagnetics, the study of how electromagnetic fields interact with and influence biological processes.[2]
- Electrotherapy, the use of electrical or electromagnetic energy in medicine;[3]
- Electromagnetic therapy (alternative medicine), the use of electromagnetic radiation to treat disease. Evidence of efficacy is lacking.[4]
- Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF, the use of weak electromagnetic fields to initiate osteogenesis.[5]
- Alternating electric field therapy, also known as "Tumor Treating Fields", the use of electric fields as an anti-mitotic therapy for cancer patients.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, widely approved therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other neurological and psychiatric conditions, especially in patients who do not respond to medication, with strong clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness.[6]
