Long-term treatment with transcranial pulsed electromagnetic fields improves movement speed and elevates cerebrospinal erythropoietin in Parkinson’s disease journals.plos.org/plosone/a...
"Conclusions
In patients with Parkinson’s disease, daily treatment with bipolar transcranial pulsed electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF) for three periods of eight weeks appeared to strengthen the natural protective/compensatory response in the human brain.
Motor performance in terms of movement speed was improved markedly compared to the natural progression seen in the PD-control group and CSF levels of erythropoietin increased in the T-PEMF group. Post treatment values of the STS completion time corresponded to the level of an age matched healthy reference group. These results suggest that T-PEMF has a neuro-restorative and/or a neuroprotective effect and that T-PEMF treatment is a potential innovative neuroprotective therapy in PD. However, the results do not exclude additional influence of other growth factor mechanisms."
