Clinical profile

A high-intensity pulsed magnetic field that causes muscle contraction and acts on nerves. Meta-analyses show reduced chronic musculoskeletal pain (especially low back pain) and improved arm function after stroke, but the quality of evidence is mostly low and the effect on pain is often short-term.

Every statement links to a publication in the list below. This is a snapshot of published research, not a final assessment of the method: international practice and integrated protocols often run ahead of official publications. Draft based on published research; requires review by a physician. Revision: 2026-10-17.

Where studies show an effect

  • Chronic musculoskeletal pain, especially low back pain: reduced pain and disability. [1, 2]
  • Peripheral neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia: short-term reduction in pain. [3, 4]
  • After stroke: improved arm motor function and daily activities. [5]

Open questions and study limitations

  • In neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia an effect has been shown in the short term; a lasting effect has not yet been confirmed. [3, 4]
  • The effect on spasticity is inconsistent: one meta-analysis finds a reduction, another does not. [6, 5]
  • Studies of post-operative pain relief are of low quality. [7]

Safety

  • Adverse effects are minimal or absent. [3]
Contraindications. Contraindications are determined by the physician according to the equipment or drug instructions; they are not given in study abstracts.

Evidence base

Several meta-analyses of RCTs with a positive effect, but the quality of evidence is mostly low and conclusions on spasticity differ.

Publications were found in PubMed; titles and journals are given verbatim, conclusions are a brief summary of the abstracts under the conditions of the specific studies. The level shows the volume of published data, not the value of the method: A — Plenty of data: consistent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs; B — Some data: reviews or several RCTs, results are heterogeneous; C — Little data: single RCTs or controlled studies; D — Scarce data: mainly reviews, observational and experimental studies. The passport is updated as new work is published and with regard to international practice.
