Effects of Pulsing Electromagnetic Fields on Nerve Regeneration: Correlation of Electrophysiologic and Histochemical Parameters

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on a cat neuropathy model using independent electrophysiologic and histochenical techniques. When the blinded codes used for each phase of the experiment were broken and the data examined by analysis of variance and correlation coefficient techniques, the group that received the pulse burst PEMF was significantly better than the others, p = 0.01. the electrophysiologic and histochemical data had a correlation coefficient of 0.83, P <0.01.
