Electromagnetic Pulses Help?

Well, I think that a study with 34 participants doesn't say much, if anything, about the widespread usefulness of low-frequency EM pulses as an osteoarthritis treatment. That said, sure, I would try it. It is an attractive alternative to prescription drugs, though one that's not applicable for children or people with pacemakers or other electrical implants.

It's difficult to know about the long-term side effects of this type of EM radiation until more studies have been conducted, but in general low frequency electrical and magnetic pulses do not have an adverse biological effect. So, I wouldn't worry about side effects or medical concerns for short-term use.

In other words, I can't think of a reason not to give it a try, but I wouldn't be convinced about its efficacy just yet. This blog post mentions some of the contrasting viewpoints.
