    <title language="eng">The influence of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) on cutaneous blood flow in healthy volunteers</title>
    <abstract language="eng">BACKGROUND:&#13;
The biophysical interaction induced by low energy pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) on the capillary microcirculation is not well understood. Several studies indicate a significant effect of PEMFT in patients with chronic medical conditions.&#13;
&#13;
OBJECTIVE:&#13;
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of PEMFT on skin microcirculation in healthy volunteers.&#13;
&#13;
METHODS:&#13;
15 healthy participants were included. Nine PEMF treatments were applied over three weeks in an 48-hour interval. The PEMFT system (BEMER) was placed beneath one of the participants’ leg with the contralateral side serving as a control. A forty-minute application period was preceded by a 10-minute resting phase. Measuring was done using two Laser Doppler probes (LEA) placed on each anterior lateral thigh.&#13;
&#13;
RESULTS:&#13;
All outcome parameters including flow, mixed venous oxygen saturation and relative venous hemoglobin showed a significant increase during the experiment when compared to the baseline values of the resting phase in both groups (p &lt; 0.01). Comparing both groups, the measurement values during the experiment did not differ (p &gt; 0.05) except for higher flow values in the control group (P = 0.03). Over time, baseline values of both groups showed no significant difference (p &gt; 0.05).&#13;
&#13;
CONCLUSION:&#13;
We found a significant increase of all measurement parameters during the study compared to the baseline values with no difference between the PEMF and control group.</abstract>
