Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Using Allografts in Sciatic Nerve: An Animal Model Study

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Stimulation Enhances Neurite Outgrowth in Neural Cells and Modulates Inflammation in Macrophages

“…Similarly, considering in vivo studies, Tavakoli et al [38] were able to improve functional recovery and morphometric indices of rat sciatic nerve at an I of 0.3 mT (the same intensity used in this work) and a PRF of 2 Hz ( t = 4 h/d for 1-5 days), a value that is quite close to the optimal PRF range found in our study. Also, Kanje et al [36] also fostered rat sciatic nerve regeneration at an I of 0.3 mT and a PRF of 2 Hz (4 h/d for 1-4 days).…”

“…PEMF output I was set for the system generator and equal to 0.3 mT (correspoding to a magnetic field strength of 240 A/m), and experimentally verified at the coil center ( x = 0; y = 0; z = 5 mm) with a calibrated probe (100A and 100D, Beehive Electronics). This I value was frequently adopted in the state-of-the-art [36][37][38][39] .…”
