EMTT – Scientific basis, clinically tested
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) works with high-energy, rapidly alternating magnetic pulses. These create electrical currents in the tissue. The resulting electrical stimulation can influence biological processes that play a role in regeneration and tissue reconstruction.
EMTT has been investigated in multiple clinical trials on various musculoskeletal complaints, including back and shoulder complaints and certain tendinopathies. Controlled studies showed pain reduction and improvements in function compared with treatments in the control group. Additive effects have also been described in combination with other conservative therapy procedures, such as shock wave therapy.
Additional scientific studies at the level of cells and tissue have shown how electromagnetic pulses can influence biological processes. Effects on cellular activity, tissue reconstruction and inflammatory mechanisms, among others, have been observed.
EMTT has been described as well-tolerated in studies to date. As with any medical treatment, the use of this method should be assessed individually by a doctor and tailored to the patient’s set of symptoms.
