Diseases and symptoms for which PEMF therapy is expected to be effective
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
It is believed to have a potential effect on dementia, but research is
still in its early stages and scientific evidence is limited. The following
are key points about how PEMF therapy may be involved in dementia.
1. Improved cerebral blood flow
- PEMF therapy is expected to improve blood circulation and increase oxygen
supply to the brain. Since some forms of dementia are associated with reduced
blood flow, improving blood flow may alleviate symptoms.
2. Protecting and promoting regeneration of nerve cells
- Some studies suggest that PEMF may contribute to protecting and repairing
nerve cells. Especially in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's
disease, it is important to maintain the health of nerve cells.
3. Reducing inflammation
- Brain inflammation is thought to be involved in the progression of dementia.
PEMF therapy is said to have an anti-inflammatory effect, which may contribute
to improving cognitive function by suppressing inflammation in the brain.
4. Improved neurotransmission
- Some studies have reported that PEMF promotes the release of neurotransmitters
and supports synaptic function. Dementia patients have impaired neurotransmission,
so improving this is expected to improve cognitive function.
5. Supports memory and learning ability
- In animal experiments, PEMF therapy has shown positive effects on memory
and learning, and the possibility of applying this to human dementia patients
is being considered.
However, further research is needed to conclude that PEMF therapy is definitely
effective against dementia. In addition, the effect may vary from person
to person and may differ depending on the progression and cause of dementia.
Therefore, when considering PEMF therapy as part of the treatment of dementia,
it is important to proceed in consultation with a specialist.
If future research or clinical trial results become available, it is a
good idea to refer to the latest information based on them.
