The effects of different types of pulsed electromagnetic fields on fibroblast cell cultures

The aim of this study is to determine which is the most effective pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on a fibroblastic culture cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five different types of PEMF are generated by a pulsed generator created by the author. The electric signal, received by a reference coil is pulse bursts type. The growth rate of a fibroblastic culture cells is measured with and without different types of PEMF. RESULTS: Comparative results showed the the most effective type of PEMF is characterized by a 15 mV positive amplitude of the signal and a 15 Hz frequency of the bursts. The intermittent stimulation (8 hours/day) was more effective than continuous stimulation.
