Exposure to an inhomogeneous static magnetic field increases thermal pain threshold in healthy human volunteers

Abstract: In the present experiment, the effect of a single 30 min inhomogeneous static magnetic field (SMF) exposure on thermal pain threshold (TPT) was examined in 15 young healthy human volunteers. The SMF had a maximum peak-to-peak amplitude of 330 mT with a maximum gradient of 13.2 T/m. In either of two experimental sessions (SMF or SHAM), four blocks of 12 TPT trials were carried out under SMF or SHAM exposure on all fingertips of the dominant hand, excluding the thumb. TPT and visual analog scale (VAS) data were … Show more

“…It has emerged that inserting a quadruple magnet capable of sending a constant magnetic flow into a plaster cast in hand and wrist fractures results in the formation of bone callus in an average time that is 35% shorter than the normal time 1) . Results from the study of Kovács-Bálint et al 10) , who investigated the effect of a single static magnetic field exposure on the thermal pain threshold of 15 young healthy human volunteers, indicate that the static magnetic field induced peripheral neuronal or circulatory mechanisms, which may have been involved in the observed thermal pain threshold increase by the pain fibre adaptation potential to higher levels.…”

“…Heat stimuli were delivered by a computer-controlled device equipped with a miniature piezoelectric heating pad (heating surface 10 9 10 mm), a 3D motion detector (accelerometer) and a precise digital temperature sensor (LRG, Gy} or, Hungary). This device has been used in previous studies and validated for use in pain research using a procedure involving topical administration of capsaicin (Kov acs-B alint et al, 2011;Vecsei et al, 2013). The device was calibrated using a Thermo Haake B5 with Phoenix II P1 circulator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with 0.01°C accuracy.…”
