Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Field Effects on Microcirculation and Circulation

Experiments by our lab indicate that specific pulsed extremely low frequency magnetic field (Cnp-complex neuroelectromagnetic pulse) exposure is effective in providing analgesia in various species. In this experiment, Cnp and 60Hz sinusoidal (100, 200, 500µT) effects on blood flow and pressure were investigated in rats using Doppler flowmetry and aortic insertion of a pressure catheter. Thirty-sixty min of 200µT Cnp exposure on blood flow had no effect; remaining analyses are pending. These findings further highlight the specificity of the Cnp and contribute to the larger, inconsistent data pool of magnetic field effects on microcirculation. 1
