    Magnetic field therapies, including PEMF and rPMS, are non-invasive treatments for orthopedic and musculoskeletal pain.

  • 2

    The systematic review included eight RCTs, showing reductions in pain and improvements in functional outcomes.

  • 3

    PEMF is associated with sustained analgesic effects, while rPMS provides faster pain relief through neuromuscular activation.

  • 4

    No serious adverse events were reported, indicating that magnetic field therapies are safe and well tolerated.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to standardize protocols and assess long-term effectiveness of these therapies.
