MAGNETIC FIELDS AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE REGULATION

Abstract

Most clinically used magnetotherapies are supported by “black box” experimental and clinical data. On May 19, 2000, a meeting of the Working Group ‘Electrophysiology of Bone’ of the German Society of Osteology was held in Berlin to discuss the basic mechanisms of pathophysiological regulation to explain the therapeutic significance of various modes of clinical magnetotherapies.

This short paper outlines the discussion held at that meeting, which searched for a rational scientific understanding or basis for the use of various clinical magnetotherapies.
