- D.H. Trock et al.: "A double blind Trial of the Clinical Effects of PEMF in Osteoarthritis," Journal of Rheumatology, 1993:20, pp. 456-460. - This double blind randomised study with 27 patients (primary arthrosis of the knee) is one of the most important research studies conducted in the field of PEMF. Six clinical parameters were investigated at different times during the treatment and an evaluation was carried out after one month. These results show a definite improvement in clinical parameters (such as mobility) in the group treated with PEMF in comparison with the group treated without PEMF. An important conclusion in this study is that for more than 17 years, more than 200,000 patients have already been treated in Eastern Europe with pulsating electromagnetic fields in clinical trials without any mentionable side effects. Observations in Eastern Europe on 861 patients with painful rheumatic changes have shown an improvement in symptoms in 70-80%.

Pezzetti et al.: "Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Exposure of Human Chondrocytes in Vitro," University of Ferrara, Italy, November 1998. - This study investigated the influence of pulsating electromagnetic fields on cartilage cells and demonstrated a definite increase in cartilage reconstruction under the influence of PEMF.
- H. Lieu et al.: "PEMF Influences Hyaline Cartilage Extracellular Matrix Composition without Affecting Molecular structure," Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 4, 1996, pp. 63-76. - This study represents and important step in scientific research into the positive effects of magnetic fields on arthrosis. It shows that PEMF influences cartilage metabolism and can prevent the degradation of glucosamine glycans. In some individual cases, cartilage mass has been regenerated.

Yarkiv et al.: "The use of Changeable Magnetic Field in Treatment of Osteoarthritis," European Bioelectromagnetics Association, 3rd International Congress, February 29 - March 3, 1996, Nancy, France. - This controlled study on arthrosis patients has shown a definite improvement in the disease condition of patients treated with PEMF.

Report of Randomised, Double blind, Placebo-controlled Trials," Journal of Rheumatology, 1994:21, pp. 1903-1911. - This study on 86 patients with arthrosis in the knee and 81 patients with arthrosis in the cervical spine has shown a definite difference between the PEMF group and the control group. The patients treated with PEMF show an improvement with a statistically significant difference in almost all clinical parameters.
- The Herder Clinic in Bremen reports of four years of experience with PEMF in diseases and injuries of the supporting system and the motor system - An evaluation of 650 cases of arthrosis of the spinal column and peripheral joints found a reduction in pain in 60-70% of the cases.
