Official Title: Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields for Postoperative and Post-Amputation Analgesia: A Randomized, Participant- and Observer-Masked, Sham-Controlled Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Pulsed shortwave (radiofrequency) therapy is a possible method of pain control involving the application of electromagnetic energy (also termed pulsed electromagnetic fields).Food and Drug Administration-cleared devices have been in clinical use for over 70 years.For decades, available devices consisted of a large signal generator and bulky coil applicator that were not portable and produced significant electromagnetic interference, making them impractical for common use.However, small, lightweight, relatively…
