Electromagnetic fields for treating osteoarthritis
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2013•cochranelibrary.com
Background This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2002. Osteoarthritis is
a disease that affects the synovial joints, causing degeneration and destruction of hyaline
cartilage and subchondral bone. Electromagnetic field therapy is currently used by
physiotherapists and may promote growth and repair of bone and cartilage. It is based on
principles of physics which include Wolff's law, the piezoelectric effect and the concept of
streaming potentials. Objectives To assess the benefits and harms of electromagnetic fields …
