“…The therapy option is of particular relevance due to its effect on patient's pain, who particularly when exposed to chronic, high doses, suffer from intolerance or the side effects of painkillers (e.g., non‐steriodal anti‐rheumatic drugs). Improvements in mobility and ability to perform daily activities, as well as pain alleviation, benefit both mechanical forms of therapy like passive physical movement and physical training performed by the patient [Rohde, ]. However, in a Cochrane study, Rutjes et al [] showed that treatment with transcutaneous electrostimulation for osteoarthritis of the knee was not effective for pain relief.…”

This study aimed to evaluate effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in a double blind study on patients with knee joint osteoarthritis. The MAGCELL ARTHRO electrode-less therapy delivered a sinusoidal magnetic field, varying in frequency between 4 and 12 Hz. In 1 cm tissue depth, magnetic flux density was 105 mT. A total of n = 57 patients were randomly assigned to the verum, PEMF or placebo group (placebo device). Their average age was 61.6 ± 12.0 years. According to American College of Rheumatology criteria the osteoarthritis level was 2.8 ± 0.8. Treatment was performed twice a day for 5 min over a period of 18 days. Treatment with the MAGCELL device versus control (sham exposed) showed a highly significant reduction in pain (P < 0.001), a significant reduction in stiffness (P = 0.032) and a significant reduction in disability in daily activities (P = 0.005) according to the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scales-with a good overall treatment tolerance. In the placebo group there was no evidence of a significant change between the initial and final examination in any of the three above-mentioned WOMAC scales. Results of this partly randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study show clinically at any rate, that use of PEMF lead to highly significant better results in the treatment group compared to the placebo group with regard to the total WOMAC global score and especially for visual analogue scale. Patient assessment of the "effectiveness" was rated in 29.5% as very good and good in 27.3% compared to 0.0% and 15.4% in controls. This therapy is thus a useful complementary treatment option with no side effects.

“…Automobilisationen sind Mobilisationstechniken aus dem Gebiet der Manuellen Medizin, die dem Patienten vom Behandler erklärt und gezeigt werden und die er dann selbstständig an seinen eigenen, in ihrer Bewegungsfunktion gestörten, blockierten Gelenken vornehmen kann. Wir haben diese Techniken entwickelt, zusammengestellt und veröffentlicht [2,5].…”
