Abstract

The pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is considered a promising innovative means in physiotherapy and medicine. The method has wide range of therapeutic effects that address mainly musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. The application of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in medicine has a long history. Magnetic fields (MF) were created by passing electric currents through a wire coil placed above the fracture. Through Faraday induction, periodic variations in the MF created the appropriate electrical field in bone [1]. The biological effects of pulsed MF on nerve tissue have received significant study in recent decades [2]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Super Inductive Magnetic system in people with musculoskeletal pain. SIS therapy was compared with standard therapy. Statistical analysis showed that the difference between groups was significant (p < 0.001), which proves that SIS therapy is more effective compared to standard therapy. SIS is safe and effective method for treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Further investigations need to be done to provide more accurate data and to evaluate the effectiveness of this method compared to other treatment methods.
