Magnetic Device

A small electromagnetic device, called the Enermed, may have beneficial effects for people with MS, according to a 1997 study led by Dr. Todd Richards, associate professor of radiology at the University of Washington. The study was funded by the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Those symptoms most responsive to Enermed frequencies appear to be bladder control, cognitive functioning, spasticity and fatigue. Links to later studies on the device can be found below.

The “Summary of Results” is as follows: “In this double-blind placebo controlled study, we have demonstrated a statistically significant effect of the Enermed pulsing magnetic device on patient improvement in quality of life and alpha EEG brainwaves. Although there were no significant changes in the EDSS scale, there was a significant improvement of patient assessed measures of bladder control, cognitive function, fatigue level, mobility, spasticity and vision for patients that had the active device. There was a significant difference between active device and the placebo device groups for combined eight MS symptoms, and EEG alpha waves during the language task.”

The device is a pulsed electromagnetic generator which emits “patient specific” frequencies that have been identified as deficient during a brain frequency analysis. This is a non-invasive treatment. The patients wear the device, (which is approximately the size of a man’s wristwatch), taped to a nerve bundle on their chest. The device’s signals are picked up by the body’s nervous system and used to enhance the specific signals (body’s electrical energy) identified as deficient. The device is powered by a 3-volt watch battery.

Although researchers want to conduct further studies on this subject, the initial results from existing studies indicates that a majority of MS patients found the therapy moderately to very effective in alleviating their symptoms. For specific data from these studies, please follow the links to studies below.
